Looking on fleabay and saw they had some great deals on the Custom stretched bags. They are the stock to 3" stretch style. Anyone know who makes these and what quality they are? Really want to go with topshop but at more than double the price these are extremely tempting.

Sounds like theyre from vtwinmfg. Anyone have any experience with these!

 

VTwin = "Taiwan Ted".

They are about the only supplier for obsolete "parts" but many of them need massaging, grinding, bending to fit.

Can't comment on this particular product but proceed with caution.

I have had good dealings with easternpc, I'd expect you could ask them and get an honest answer.

V-Twin Ted, as in Ted's from Orange County, NY? If it's the same guy, the Teutels used him all the time so you know it must be good...

All joking aside, that guy Ted has a crazy collection of bikes that he put up in a museum up there, heard it's pretty interesting.

Ok, sorry to thread hi-jack.

 

If those are made from Fairing Factory (kuryakyn also sell these bags) run and don't look back! Eastern Performance is a good company I have bought alot of stuff from them.
Notice they don't show you the back of the bag where the pipe cut outs are? There is a reason why they don't show you those. Cause my money says they are square and not round! Been there done that lesson learned.

 

Theyre not fairing factory. The ebay auctions show the round rear cutouts actually

 

I looked at all 4 pics and I can't tell. But I was just telling you to make sure. I got a pair that I will not resale, or use cause they are super flimsy and the rear cut outs are square. Sounds like you got it covered.

 

For 1050 you can get Top Shop Carbon Bags and Stretched fender with tri light set up. One other thing you have to keep in mind. If you buy a cheap bag you pay the difference at the body shop to get them ready for paint, call Top Shop they give lower price on phone. I just bought a set. Going to see them tomorrow on bike

 

I was going to post the same question. I like the look of the CVO style compared to the aftermarket stretched bags. There are two other sellers on e-bay selling similar bags. I also would like hear some first hand experience with these bags.
