Which Bag to
Choose?
There are several factors that influence your decision on which size
of bag you might want for your bike. The biggest factor is the
amount of space you have between your sissybar and the beginning of the
slope where the rider sits. Around 12.5 to 13.5 " is the best
distance for the larger 12" bag. Around 10.5 to 11.5 works
usually works best with the small bag the best. All of the Harleys
routinely take the larger 12" bag except the Sportster, Dyna Low
Rider and the Duce which work best with the smaller 10" bag for most
riders. Other factors are how big and how tall are you ? Do
you have pull-back extenders on your handlebars? Do you like
to sit fairly straight upward or do you like to lean back a little
or a lot ( really get comfortable). I like to lean way back so I
used a large bag with handlebar extenders. Those items along with
moustache foot pegs and I can really get laid back and comfortable.
I used that setup with my Harley DWG and currently with my new Harley
Heritage.
Exceptions: Shorter people that have to sit kind of forward in
order to firmly plant their feet on the foot pegs would probably like the
larger bag even with the Sportster, Honda Shadow or Yamaha Virago which
typically use the smaller bag. Too, there are people who just like
to ride in a more upright position. Hey, there is nothing wrong with
that. Everyone has their own style and there is no right or wrong
about anyway you want to ride.
So some chose their bag by using the measurement method, but do take
your style of riding into account. I have some customers that buy
both bags so they can change up their riding styles from time to time
Should you receive your bag and decide that you would like the other
size better then just contact me via phone or email and I will give you a
RMA number. Just ship that bag back to me at your expense and I will
ship the other size bag to you at my expense. Now for those who
can't make up their mind and want to trade back again, you will have to
pay the freight both ways on the second trade.
Either Size .... same price
