I'm just wondering if the Vance and Hines oversized 450 slip ons would fit with the extended bags or not?
The stock mufflers are 4.0" diameter, and the V&H 450's are of course 4.5" diameter. If you currently have more than .25" clearance with the stock mufflers to the bags, then the 4.5" mufflers will obviously fit physically. The next question would be how much clearance is actually needed to keep the hot muffler from damaging the bag? I can't answer that for you, but V&H claims in their product advertising that the 450's will indeed fit those bikes with extended bags.

Bigger is better. The Vance & Hines OverSized 450 slip-on line for Touring models takes it to a new level with massive 4.5-inch diameter mufflers. Finished with equally large CNC machined billet end caps styled with a slight taper and race-inspired flutes, the OverSize 450 fits and looks the part on baggers with extended skirts.The OverSized 450 slip-on line also puts out a big deep-toned rumble thanks to its large fiberglass wrapped 2.5-inch perforated core baffles, which can also be tempered down with optional quiet baffles. Available in all chrome, all black or chrome with black end caps. - 4.5-inch Round with Billet end treatment
