Mine just cleared customs so I'd imagine I'll have them by the end of this upcoming work week. I ordered the 2 into 1 bags, which I haven't seen any pictures of yet so I'll be sure to report back.

Is the color match dead on? I have a 2016 ultra limited in mysterious sun glow/velocity red sun glow. Been thinking about a painted inner fairing.
As long as I'm putting it out there, what color should I do it? The darker red or the lighter red?

Overall, pleased. Everything mounted up good. One lid takes a little extra time to latch, but I'm sure I can play around with it to get it back to normal. Paint looks good, in the right light you can see little dimples but nothing extreme. Happy customer. Just need a fender extension now!

Looks Nice! I had the same issue with the Bad Dad bags and stock lids latching. I took the bag off, closed and latched the lid then loosened and re-tightened the hinge screws. It helped.

I'm sorry but I can see at first glance that the paint on those bags are terrible. In your side shot you can see how the bags are a different hue of black from the rest of the bike. And in the shot of the rear of the bike you can see the reflection of the cloud on the fender looks like a mirror while on the bags it looks muted and terribly orange peeled.

looks like these are not for me.

I think the bike and the bags look good, especially at the price point. Plus I already got 50 shades of black going on couple more wont matter...

Personally I thing it is all due to angles. The upper curved part has clear clouds but the lower and filler reflections look the same as the bags.
Looks Awesome my friend.

I disagree but that being said it does look like one of the better aftermarket sets out there. i am too @n@l to put them on my ride but they are a reasonable choice for others. i would however probably use their lower fairings since those aren't so in your face as the saddle bags.

just my $.02

After a second look on my PC and not my phone I will have to say I would complain about the left bag for sure.
I bought the lowers in Amber Whiskey and they look really good.But I did have to replace the latch mechanism with the HD ones, kept popping open.
