Advan Black, have you all given any thought to doing CVO style/length extended bags? I think you're missing out on an under served market, not everyone wants 'full extended bags'!

I sure wish Advan Black would paint 2004 Smokey Gold, I would buy bags and lowers.

I'm very picky, I want the bag to look like it came from the HD Factory. I just cant get myself to pull the trigger.

ADVAN BLACK sent me an invoice through Paypal, I asked him to update the invoice with "color and Quality to match Factory" that way PayPal would back me if the product was not good........ I've yet to get a response?????????

Wonder what that means?

UPDATE...... HogWorkz just assured me that the color matched bags they offer will appear to be HD Factory. I asked about paint flaws, he said they do not have issues with their paint jobs. And if so I could return them.

They also stated that they Make the bags, lids , Hardware, and Paint them all in-house.

So I'm looking at just under $700 for 2014 Stretch Bags, With Lids and One Touch Open Hardware. I will need to assemble then install.

That's a legal trick-bag. "Quality" and even, to an extent color, "matching" factory is subjective. If they have a legal team, there's no way their attorney would let them sign such a disclaimer.

If you REALLY WANT color and quality to "match factory", you HAVE that option at HD.com - you just have to pay extra for it.

Yeah QNman, but.................

Bags are $1300 plus paint
Lids with paint approx $250 EACH
Hardware, ?? I'm guessing $500

So $2300 for stock bags.................. pass.

LOL. I hear you, brother, truly I do. That's why I have AdvanBlack lowers on my sickle.

I have the Advan Black lowers in Amber Whiskey and the paint matches perfect.

The plastic seems deformed in a few areas. The paint seems "ok" but the clear coat is very thin. I suppose for the price, I got what I paid for.
I originally had a problem with the quality of the paint on the bags I bought from Advan. They went out of their way to make it right. I am very pleased now and highly recommend these bags. The customer service is second to none, above and beyond most vendors out there these days. Thanks Sam!
