Sinister ABS 4" Stretched Bags - Feedback
I'm in the market for some stretched bags since I put a set of Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes on my Road Glide. I have dropped the rear 2" but still can't stand that view of the rear wheel. I'm looking for feedback on the Sinister Bags. I need a set with no exhaust cut out. I like the fact that they are abs instead of fiberglass and from what I have read they are quality bags with minimal prep needed. The price is $599.
Any feedback on these or other bags is appreciated. I also did a search and found Milwaukee, Bad Dad and Top Shop are among the top reviewed.
Thanks.

I have sinister bags. They are top quality bags that fit perfect and no prep time before paint.
I have used Bad Dad bags before they are great quality as well but made out of fiberglass.
you cant go wrong with either. get the one that is the best price.

My buddy bought them and said that they did require a lot of prep work but they did turn out very nice. I think he got them from fatbaggers (a big mistake as they cheated him on a wiring harness he bought with the lids). I think they are a good product but stay away from FB.
That is a good looking bike! very nice!

Thanks! What seam? The ones I'm looking at are their bags that are extended 4". These are not extensions added on.

The seams he is probably talking about is a seam that will be directly down the center of the bags (rear portion of bag) when you first get them (assuming from the mold). It will take some prep work to get that out of there. When I got my bags the portion of the bags where they filled in the exhaust holes (which is the only way they sell them now) Was very thin and weak. I had my body guy bond and mold a piece of 18 gauge steel in there for extra support. Without that extra time my body guy had approx 5 hours of prep work to make the Sinister bags perfect. So yeah... none or little prep work is very hard to believe! However these bags are heavy, sturdy, and strong! I also have the Sinister 6X9 speaker lids and they are also strong, heavy and didn't require a bunch of prep work... only 2.5 hours for the pair.

Icibuy, your exactly right, all three sides, back, side, front had to have some surface prep, not really noticible raw. Not a massive amount, but your not going to get them out of the box and shoot em with vivid black.
