Looking to buy extended bags for my 12 ultra. Was looking to see who had the best color match quality out of hogworkz, nastyhig, and advanblack. Thanks
FWIW- I only have experience with Advanblack. I couldn't afford (nor want to drop coin) on any HD or other brands. The Advanblack ones on my '16 FHLTK are dead on. I sold my stock ones to help further reduces the costs.
I also re-used the OEM hardware.
I purchased color matched from Nasty Hog fender and bags for my previous Street Glide and the were good quality and looked good. I bought a used Ultra (2012) recently and just purchased CVO fender and 5" Stretched Bags from Amazon from TCMT - color matched in Vivid Black but waiting for them to arrive. Will respond back once I get them and provide pics.
I'm debating dropping the cash on the Advanblack bags. Reviews are solid but I've seen some where the lines an gaps are nice an some that are a little sloppy. I know you get what you pay for so I wouldn't expect perfection but I don't want it to look shoddy. I dinged my front fender so I was thinking of buying a set of unpainted bags an fender filler since I need paint for the fender....a guy I know that paints said when you add up the cost of the cheap amazon bags an add what he would have to pay for paint he couldn't beat the advanblack price total. That wasn't a free labor deal but a discounted labor deal since my cousin used to work for him. I love the look of the bad dad stuff but I just can't drop that kinda money....trying to retire in 2 years at 57 so I have to keep my priorities.
I received the bags but waiting on the CVO fender, will send updated pics once I get it all installed. Bags look great, no runs or blemishes that I seen.
