Default Anyone Use FAIRING FACTORY for Extended Bags?

They are pretty cheap and seem to be good, but I've heard a few mixed things. Would love some feedback. I have D&D Fat Cats.

In this months American Bagger,or Hot Bike Baggers, there is a silver RG with them. I think they look damn good,and for being ABS you can't beat the price.

True.. My problem which I can't seem to avoid is having to get lids and hardware.. My bags are police bags.. But it is what it is!

I had almost the same problem,going from leather saddlebags to extended hard bags. I went with sumax. The bags are well built an fit nice.

I think they are complete crap.They have square cut outs instead of round and are very flimsy and require alot of body work.Mine came gouged really bad out the box do to the lack of packing.
I can not believe that Kuryakyn is selling these piece of **** bags...Stay clear!!!!!
I own a Large bodyshop here in Oklahoma and I know bodywork and painted for 17 years on the line.They are crap!!!!!

Default Not great

I got the bags and needed a lot of prep work. Basically are many pieces molded together and do not fit well. I got them cheap...but guys lets be honest here, the rubbish bin as lots more abs plastic and cost 50 dollars. All this aftermarket bags are a rip off I'm my opinion. Sumax after 3 emails I gave up, fairing factory good communication and they got my money and I got my bags for.half price.

I have heard they require a lot of prep work to make right. I went with Bad Dad fiberglass bags and they were perfect out of the box.

Fairing Factory are not reputable. I ordered lower fairings and they did not fit my model. They agreed to refund but jerked me around and never would refund.
