Here we go again!!!!.....never ending on buying parts. So now I'm in the mood on buying stretched saddlebags and looking to match up to the stock fender on my (FLHX). Just not to sure which brand, what length. I see there is a 4",4.5" and a 5". Just want to get some feed back and if you have rear and side view pics so that I can make my decision. Thanks guys

 

I just installed top shop new style 4.5 on my 13 flhx with stock fender. I'll get some pics soon. Purchased from factory match.

 

I have the VTwin MFG "CVO" style bags on my '11 Street Glide:










I think they look pretty good, though I'd much prefer to have the CVO style rear fender kit, mostly for the increase in lighting that it should provide.

I think vhmike73 is one of better bags matching a stock fender I've seen. I went whole hog and have Top Shop Minister fender and there bags.

 

Doing bad dad fender & bags

 

Anybody have the Arlen ness bags?

 

Not bad, how much did it cost you to have them painted?

 

I think the CVO styled bags are the clothes match to stock fender. I personally think you still need a stretched fender to match the bags you choose. I found a CVO fender and fascia locally on CL for $100 and got the CVO style bags on eastern performance for $350. For around 8 bills I was able to completely change the look of my bikes rear

I bought the Vtwin bags from eastern for 369. I paid 400 for painting. I went with the CVO size, I was really concerned about the longer bags dragging on corners.
