As you can see in the picture the cut outs for the pipes are square looks real good next to a round pipes. Also as you can see in the picture they are wavy as all living get out. I bought a set and think they are complete junk!!!!! The material is flimsy at best and mine came in scrathed all to crap...I really can not believe Kuryakyn has their name with these bags.
I own a busy Collision shop here in Oklahoma and I have done bodywork and painted for over 20 years.Fairing factory bags will require at 6 hours or more bodywork, in Okla thats 264 per bag and then paint!! ..These bags are what you pay for and that is cheap.... I would not mess my bike up with these crap bags ,but it is your bike

I saw these on eBay and I have seen a write up on them in Bagger Magazine.. What a load of **** selling these things to the unsuspecting public.

There are a handful of companies offering good bags from what I know:

Bad Dad
Milwuakee Customs
Acme Top Shop
Native Customs

I almost ordered a set a few weeks ago. Couldn't find any info on them, I even put up a post about them myself with very few replies. Glad that I decided against them. In the pics the bags looked extremely wavy.

I too almost bought a set a few weeks back. I read some pretty scathing reviews on here so I decided to go with HD's extended saddlebags instead. They don't have the 4 inch look but they still extend down around the exhaust. I'm happy with them...

+1 for Baddad. I just got their bags and Summit fender. Top quality work. Bolted right up. Would recommend to anyone.

Top shop bag carbon, Real nice. Block and sand and good to go. Real nice. Body Shop guy told me they are top notch. They are fiberglass not ABS. Also you can get 3, 3.6 or 4in strech

Thanks for this!!

I'm looking at either extending my current bags with Bad-Dad or buying the Top Shop 3" bags... The Fairing Factory are definitely out of the question!
