Looking for feedback and availability of extended bags/rear fender/side panels for the 2014+ Touring bikes.

Had Bad Dad on my '09 Road Glide, and wasn't 100% happy with the quality, but it was early on in the "fad". Now there seems to be more choices than ever for doing a "custom" rear end.


I am in the beginning stages of building my 2015 RGS, into my vision. Extended Bags, Rear Fender, Side Panels; Chopped Detachable Tour-Pak, Hard Lowers, 6-Speaker set-up, 21/17 combo, etc.

If you could provide comments/replies on pro's and con's for the different venders, I would really appreciate it.

 

I will start it out:


Bad Dad (Production Jan 2010):
Pros:
-Customization of the rear lighting was nice
-Wiring was plug and play (mostly)
-Everything lined up without much work
-Painted well
-Liked the look
-Customer Service was great
Cons:
-Ran a Proto-type Fender eliminator, so it took some extra spacers for the seat to fit correctly
-The inside of the bags was really rough
-Bags didn't seem to align with the lid correctly
-Couldn't run detachables
-License plate lights were not available when I got mine


All in all, I was satisfied with the product offered. It was the best there was when I did mine. I am sure that there are many more options out there now.

 

I have a set of True Kustom big *** bags.

Positives:
look great
line up nicely
custom tail light
plug & play.

Negatives:
lids on the inside look unfinished
took too long to get
super pricey

I like the bags, they look great, they we're way too expensive, but I like to support local business. The customer service has improved tremendously, I'm still not sure the pro/cons of fiberglass compared to ABS though.
