Default Saddlebag lid covers -best fit?

Looking at adding some black to my ride. Thinking about a set of black saddlebag lid covers it add a little more black to it. Not quite sold an painting anymore black on as of yet.

In looking I see HD has some along with many others. In the pics from the websites, it looks like the T-bag brand has the nicest looking fit.

Looking for some feedback on the HD, Mustang, and T-bag covers, and some pics if you got them.

Also feeling some black day makers in my future. But they are so damn expensive.

Plastidip them in flat black. When you get tired of it, peel it off.

...... got my HD's 9 years ago

...... they've shrunk some, the velcro tape they mount to can pull away when really hot....
...... i've kept them on & they still do the job, but other makers have several fit /function styles that work as well or better

If you are going to put covers on, spray them with plasti-dip or one of the removable clear films - putting any sort of "bra", cover or such on paint will eventually mar the paint when dirt gets under there and abrades the surface.

I had a custom made to match the theme of the bike.
It was the best choice I made even with the wait.
So check out...

Not connected with them but a very happy customer.
