Default Best 14+ up complete rear end kit

Ok so I am thinking of doing the full setup of bags, fender, lids and side covers on my 14 Ultra Classic.

I know that Top Shop, Bad Dad and several others out there make some pretty nice stuff. I don't have an issue dropping 3k on a setup but want to see what else is out there.

Would love to know who has had the best luck with their setups and any pics you might have.

I kind of want to do the new style CVO lights in the rear fender so that makes a bit of a difference as well.

Thanks!

Mike.

I have the Topshop rear with CVO lights. Shoot me a PM and I'll give you my number and get some pics.

Mike, I was looking for the same as you and I don't have a painter. I ended up ordering painted Top Shop viper bags and minister fender with the CVO lights from http://www.thefactorymatch.com/

I don't have them in yet, but from others here they do excellent work and I'm excited to get them in. Their 15% off sale didn't hurt either. Good luck to you on your choice.

Dirty Bird's Platinum kit. Got the whole kit unpainted for $1800.00 because of a typo on their website.

I'm a Bad Dad fan myself - the fit & finish was great, there may be some other companies out there but they may not be the same quality or finish, which could cost you more in the long run.

Man don't buy it painted without mockup first! They all say primed n paint ready and direct fitment! You ever notice why you don't see pics behind their bikes? Bag gaps don't match fender or mufflers are way off from left/right! Welcome to the custom world where no one gives customer service! Just trying to save you some grief!

what fender is that QWKHog? Assuming it's yours, if so what did the vendor do to help?

Will see when I get my stuff from TFM, I'm hopeful based on their reputation that it will be good.

I did three sets one on a 2013 and two 2014 with all three having issues throughout. The one pictured is my bike which had to have both edges reglassed n primed at 8-hours shop time with painter. I didn't want bag on them but rather help the op on his. I'm sure they know the picture!

I mocked it all up my self except for extended side fillers, I drilled fender, bag's and cut for 2-1.

DB said ready for paint and wasn't, that's where I got the $1800.00 deal. After seeing prior post from QWKHOG I'm glad I done it myself. Painter charged me $1000.00 for prep, paint and buff.
