As for the new bags, initially I wanted them because it seemed easier to open, but after taking a closer look, they seem to be more rounded compared to the old style bags like mine. I also read that the new bags cannot be opened with a TP, but I cannot confirm as I have the old style bags.
I think there are some threads here where people raised the old style TP about 1/2" for the new lids to clear, but I'm sure someone can confirm.
Top Shop & Bad Dad are both true American companies that make their products in the USA and have been doing so for many many moons. Top Shop bags are 100% fiberglass and are very heavy duty. Bad Dad parts are fiberglass with a gel-coat finish. Again very heavy duty. Both the best quality in the business.
I do not deal with Advanblack or Hogworkz but from what I know they're plastic parts all made overseas. As well as painted overseas. I think some or all? of Hogworkz parts are painted in US possibly? Both companies are considerably cheaper than Top Shop or Bad Dad but it's also not comparing apples to apples whatsoever. There are many reviews out there
At the end of the day it all comes down to what your goal is. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions relating to Top Shop or Bad Dad, let us know!
Many have had success with Advanblack. I bought some painted side heat shields or whatever you call them. They refunded me without any hassles. But where’s the QC on them. Didn’t they review before sending out?
Again, nice guys at Advanblack. Great communication, easy refund.
