They do have speaker lids. I have no experience with them. Link here for saddlebag parts

Factor in paint cost and labor before purchase. Some Harley colors are over 200.00 a pint. Here are some more parts that were part of the project.

Awesome man, thanks for all the info. Speaking of 200 a pint, do you know how much paint it takes to paint them? I would just reuse my current lids. Side note, the color you painted yours, I used to hate . I called it old man maroon. Maybe it's because I'm a little older and grumpier, but now I love it . Haha. Looks like you've got a nice set up there. The fairing looks badass. You got a picture of you're bike all put together? I'm curious how the bags look from the back with a stock fender. I pull a trailer which limits me on fender options

I painted these parts for someone else and don’t have a pic of them mounted. These aftermarket bags are the same dimension inside and out as the stock Harley extended bags so they look the same. They will look like this Road King Special. I don’t know how they look on an Ultra without a fascia.

Perfect, thanks man . That clears it up. I was wondering if the would match up with the fender. I wish I could get a CVO fender but I can't find a trailer receiver that would work with my setup

Eastern Performance Cycle sells the VTwin bags, I got mine there, but saw them even cheaper on Fleabay... as long as they are the VTwin CVO knockoffs you should be good. Happy with the paint work from thefactorymatch, charged me $300 inc. return shipping and a new shipping carton. Local guy did the striping and Do-Dah GD Skeletons for me...

Thefactorymatch . This is the first I've heard of them . Checked out their website and I'll definitely give them a call! It's so hard to get a freakin quote out of anyone over the phone anymore . If I can be in to these bags painted in the 600 dollar range I'd be happy. And you reminded me, I run Bassani Road Rage 2 into 1 exhaust so I need to buy a dummy pipe too.
