    I know its a silly question but you did get them for your bike and not a Harley or heavy duty ones

    Looking at their website they have 3 different lengths 11.5, 12 and12.5 for your model. Do you know which size you have? Did you measure them?

    Concerning sag Have a look here for starters and Google for more, make sure it's motorcycle and not bicycle
