When they sit ABOVE the fender they alter the bike too much dwarf the rear fender.Lower bags just look better, My 1500 has custom exhaust pipes that allow the top of my bags to sit level with the back fender. This was a must for me.

I like the sound a LOT. It is not as loud as the dual fishtails was and it resembles an older Indian. So all good to my ears!

- November 21, 2017, 15:16:14 PMQuote from: RockinRollin on October 20, 2017, 08:21:36 AMOkay, finally got surprises dealt with including a tank full of bad gas that left me stranded and SOL. Here are pictures of the bike with new single lowered pipe AND new hard bags also on a lowered Bracket. Basically the PIPE now sits at the exact same place where the LOWER pipe of the OVER and UNDER set up was. So it is NOT lower than prior lower pipe, I have just eliminated the HIGHER pipe of the previous dual pipe setup. This allowed me to have the hard bags sit lower. Right now the top of the hard bag sits just barely below the top line of the FENDER. The hard bag on the bracket (as it came) sat way above the FENDER which looked awful. But now this has all been worked out. I am happy and the half black and half chrome on the pipes looks fine to me because the "break" in color occurs right along with the black bags! See pics:Just curious, how much did you lower the pipes by? Also I wonder what it would look like if you did the whole exhaust black or would that be too much? Always liked the look of a black out bike. (no chrome)

I Put the ONE bag on and even though I put it as LOW as I could with the mounts provided it still say WAY TOO HIGH. So I am having the loacl welder guy modify brackets so the bag sits LOWER. I will post AFTER he does his work.Zoar - Very nice and all it needs to be. You will certainly be able to get those bags on now.
Hard to see the details, but the second "medium" photo is the best. Is it all welded or does it come apart just ahead of the muffler and or behind the muffler?
Nice down pipe fabrication with shields. (Assume the down pipes are new because I thought your original set up was one pipe on top of the other.So you either go from one on top of the other into one, which keeps the exhaust high or the way you did it, which lowers the pipes into a nice straight line.
I like it, and at a reasonable price. The size of the tip after the muffler dictates the sound (bigger = lower pitch). So that's the only variable and if you like the sound....you've won.
Again, nice solution. Now let's see those bags.
