I did the CVO fender and stretched bags from Nasty Hog on my 2013 Streetglide a few years back. This go around, I went with fender and bags from TCMT off of Amazon. Both comparable quality TCMT was just cheaper and I love Amazon, in case of any issues. I also added their Razor Tour Pack.
This setup is not even close to anything look same as Nasty Hog... Are you TCMT big fan?

Well I finally got a chance to install the Top Shop lights. As sickstring said, you have to drop the fender but thanks to him I was expecting it so I wasn’t too frustrated. I went ahead and changed to the Top Shop harness while I was there. It is a bit longer so I was able to remount the connecting plug where it should be. I had to relocate it a bit with the shorter Fmoto harness. I also like having a connectorized license plate light which isn’t on the Fmoto. I do believe these are 2X brighter than the Fmotos and I like them a LOT better. Could they be better still, yup. But I am so spoiled by the Custom Dynamic LEDs I had in the stock T bar tail/brake lights. I may call Custom Dynamics one of these days and ask about mounting one of their plasma rods in the Fmoto housings. They may laugh but what the heck.
While I had the wheel off I also mounted the longer rear seat bolt. It Rocks! If you are going to do this get the Gardner Wescott 041977 before you even start. There are lots of posts about this. Some glue the stock one in, some hand-mill the old one to fit but this is the answer.
Now for a couple of tips that I learned the hard way.
One, when you live in North Texas waiting for the hottest day of the year so far is so much fun. I had the chance to do it a month or two ago but work got in the way. But I think I lost 5lbs so all was not wasted.
Two, when you get everything hooked up and want to test them, pressing the rear brake pedal is not advised. The pads will pop right off their seal to the caliper. Then you will find the caliper is now well into the place where the rotor goes and after you get everything put back you will probably be left with a squealing rear brake. That was my experience that required me to get a new set of pads, apply the sealant and reinstall. Then the squeal went away.
Overall, the Nasty Hog (Fmoto) purchase was great but if you go down this road get the Top Shop tail lights right off the bat.
Before you ask, I know the front fender is not on yet. I was waiting for the risers so it would fit the 21” wheel.
I’m happy with the way things turned out. Yes, I would recommend Nasty Hog. Their customer service for me was first rate
