Default Oversized Hardshell Bags?

I've seen some baggers here and there over the years, particularly Street Glides and RGC's, that had over-sized hard shell bags, which were obviously custom. A few questions...???

What should one expect to pay for these?
What dealer(s) sell them?
Would one be able to get them with matching HD Vivid Black paint?
Would they work with V&H Monster Rounds?

A few manufacturers offer them.

Rounds not a problem, ovals a problem.

Paint not a problem.

Probably looking at 800-1000 bucks

Do these extended bags come with new hardware to support them underneath?

No you will use all stock mounting hardware. Hardest part is moving lids and latches really easy to do total of 12 screws

I haven't come across those before. Look a bit too wide for my liking, especially with a female passenger!
