Default Stretched/Extended bags

Have any of you used the Factory fairing Extended bags? How do they fit? I see in there pictures the paint is 8 out of 10. I have looked at other companies bags and parts at 3 time the cost and other companies out of stock on the extended bags.

Are the others extended bags worth 400+ more in fit and finish? Is ABS or fiberglass better?

Before some of you tell me to do a search........I have and I want recent opinions on who has bought them recently

whoops i thought u were talking about bag extensions!
picked mine up and had painted for $100 so i have 350 in them at the time i couldnt afford the full bags so it was right for me.
they fit great and were easy to install.
i get lots of compliments on them too
i however like the look of the full bags better

I have searched the forum threads as well and was looking at Top Shop, Fairing Factory and Bagger Werx. FF & BW comes painted in Vivid Black, ready to install for close to the same money, including shipping. FF are ABS and Bagger Werx are fiberglass. I prefer ABS as they'll be lighter/closer to OEM. Top shop look great, but by the time I get them painted by a quality painter I'm looking at a couple hundred more in cost. Interested to see where this thread goes as far as opinions.
