Most of the guys here on the forum use Top Shop Bags.
Top Shop is also a forum sponsor.
From the threads I've seen, Top Shop pretty much builds the bags to your specs, i.e. single/dual exhaust cutout, type of exhaust.
I think they get somewhere around $750-800 per set.
as far as quality and construction NO ONE beats arlen ness but they are a lil pricey. other than that i like bad dad bags as you can get them anyway you want from any exhaust cut out to flush mount lights. that's what we use on most of our builds and that's all you see in all the magazines.....just my $.02
I went with Top Shop. I would agree that Sinister makes nice bags also. The ability to have the bags anyway I wanted them is one reason I went to Top Shop.
