Waiting to hear about the quality. If all's good going order to bags & lids. Found these fender fillers. They should look good with the bags.

Bags are here! Strong and thick as stock bags. Id be willing to bet you couldnt tell the difference between these and CVO bags. I cant find a single issue with them and very happy with my purchase!

Of course they had to throw the token made in taiwan sticker on the bottom. Already removed :-)

How was the quality of the paint? Good match?

I haven't had them painted yet. Have to drop them off at the painter next week. I'll get pics posted up soon. Honestly though. They're no different than factory bags. Not going to try the top shop bounce test but they would hold at 210 lbs I'm sure of it!

Hey guys I am one of the "other" sellers on eBay (streetbob325) selling those bags. They do come from Vtwin and they are great quality. I sell a handful of popular bagged parts that I have used in my own shop working on guys bikes locally. I've used the old fiberglass bags, top shop and bad dad that I have bought or customers have brought in. For the value I think these are the best and I really believe that. I have not seen a set of bags that fits as well out of the box. Any questions let me know, years ago before everyone wanted or had these you had to do a LOT of work to get hardware to latch right, line up on the bike, bla bla and they cost an arm and a leg. Now they are priced great and not trashy bags. Just saw the post and figured I'd chime in.

Do you offer the bags painted? I'm looking for set already painted. I haven't found a local painter that doesn't charge a arm & a leg.

Depends on the color but my local guy who does all the paint for the bikes I work on is between 250 and 400 a set. Kind of depends on the color and what else I'm dropping off. Last month I had two guys wanting drop bags both vivid black so I got em done 250. Only bitch is shipping them, but I'm sure we can figure that out, some bubblewrap maybe.
