Default Arlen Ness Angled Saddlebags

I am looking for pictures of a touring bike with the angled 5" extended saddlebags from Arlen Ness. I plan on keeping the tri-bar light on the rear fender and am curious how the bags look with the stock fender. Arlen Ness is producing a new bottom piece for the stock fender that will retain the use of the tri-bar, but it is not currently available. If I am buying the fender piece and the two bags, I would like to have them all painted at the same time. Wondering if I should wait for the filler piece to be available or just get the bags. I want to have this done before Spring 2016.


The Bags:

This will be available early 2016:

Most extended bags don't look good with the stock fender (in my opinion) and if you go with new bags, get the fender from the same company so that both match up - especially with the exhaust cut-outs....I just ordered and currently mocking up a Bad Dad rear fender & bags.....I really liked the Top Shop bags, but couldn't fall in love with their rear fenders.....

Ness ABS bags are imported, if that's important to you. I believe all Ness fiberglass are domestically produced. (I just talked to Ness CS.)

Someone said that bikes with stretched bags and a big front wheel look like this:
LOL

Just got my Arlen Ness bags on my bike. Love them! They are ABS and not fiberglass, great quality, very little prep work for paint, overall I would highly recommend them.





oh I also have a street glide rear fender on the bike, fills up the gap nicely and doesnt hang too low.

Nice bike, but the bags don't match up with the fender.
