Stretch Bags

I'm thinking about getting some stretch hard bags for my RKC. I don't know where to go for pricing or specs.
What do you all think?
And how much should I pay, etc?

Those are some good sources, but I realize when looking at them that none of them come with lids or hardware. Since I have leather bags, it's suddenly getting almost too expensive.

Milwaukee Bagger makes good bags. I haven't heard anything good about the Ness bags.

I saw them at a show this past weekend.... and they are WIIIIIDE, I also ride aggressive and don't think I can run those at all.

I hate to pay good $$ for bags and paint and not be able to ride the way I usually do
