[QUOTE="JamesK, post: 712821, member: 1858"] Well, exactly as Checkswrecks points out, the wider factory bags actually protrude out more than the max width of the handle bars. So you can't assume that you'll get through just because the front of the bike cleared the opening b/w the cages. And you really don't want to have to "give" any forward looking attention to your rear view mirrors to see if the "fat" bags are clearing... As you can see from one of the photos, the City Cases are only a touch wider than the passenger foot pegs and narrower than the stock GenII mirrors so you can be sure that the bags WILL clear any opening that the front of the bike got through. And of course, 1-2 inches less in a side case is not as bigger deal as it would be in a certain body part :rolleyes: I too utilize, actually depend on the storage capacity of the bags however, in my soon to be riding local the stock bags would mean not being able to use the bags at all or be faced with being stuck behind lines of cages. Keep in mind that the space b/w lanes in Japan, Europe, etc is typically narrower than in California. [/QUOTE]
