Steve, I ended up not using the bag on the 300k. I did a test ride the night before and noticed my legs lightly brushed the sides and wasn't sure if I could tolerate that over 300k so I went with an old standby-- Carradice Nelson LF. I'll try and measure it tomorrow morning and get back to you. Really, I doubt the brushing it would be an issue.
