Bags & fender
I am happy with the bags and cvo style fender. The bodywork isn’t great but you get what you pay for. The paint is fine but there are definitely some wavy spots in the bodywork. I can live with it no problem though. You’ll need a seat bolt for the fender (I’ll add a link to what I used down below). The fender and bags are made from ABS plastic just like the stock bags. The fender is strong. I’ve been riding with a passenger and have had no issues at all. You’ll also need to add some sort of light for the license plate. The fender comes with a plate frame but it isn’t lit. I went with a custom dynamics led license plate frame, shaved it down to fit, and it wires right into the new light harness for the fender lights. I used my stock lids and hardware for the bags and they fit perfect. Just be sure to use blue Loctite on all the hardware so that nothing comes loose. You’ll want to get some sort of extension for your tailpipe end caps to extend them out a bit otherwise they’ll be too short and look funny. I had to modify my fender by shaving it down a little bit to fit right to my strut towers, nothing drastic and not noticeable at all.
All in all I’m happy with my purchase and the $$ I saved going this route.

Love them so far
Put the stretch bags, CVO fender and the stretch side covers on this winter. No trimming, no issues. Came with a license plate LED strip that can be glued in place. Make a cardboard holder to keep the LED strip in place until the glue sets. I threw away the crimp/splice connectors the provided for the license plate light interconnect. Solder and shrink wrap with a wrap of electrical tape.
The NH wiring harness for 2017 SG works electrically fine. The right side is a bit short requiring relocation of the stock tail/brake light connector under the seat. No big deal.
Thank you to this forum for solving the seat bolt problem (
gardner-westcott seat bolt kit 04-1977) is on order. As a side issue but important, the NH customer service is first rate. They do get busy every now and then but they make things right. Their shipping is fast. The paint perfectly matches my denim black stock color.
The only thing I don’t like and want to change is the intensity of the tail lights. I had Custom Dynamics LEDs in the stock rails and they were awesome. The smoked CVO style is way dim in daylight. Looking for some help in updating to a brighter setup.

Are your lids and hardware from a set of aftermarket bags or stock Harley bags. If from after market bags you need to go to your local Harley dealer and buy 4 new saddlebag strikes part number 90200519. The aftermarket ones do not allow the lids to close tightly. I had the same issue.
