So I've had my eye on these bags for weeks now:

I like to research before spending $ on stuff and there is SO much out there in the stretched bag area that it's a tad overwhelming. Like, why are the Ness bags $1600? The name?
Do these FF bags seem like a good deal? They do to me.

I have a hard time believing the Ness stuff is better. I think I recall hearing a few people say that it isn't, but my memory is failing to confirm those thoughts. Not a fan of that line either.
The bags I've been looking at are Bad Dad's new shaved ones. LOVE the idea of no visible hardware!!! But talk about expensive!!! I also worry that the internal brackets will limit usefulness of the bag. Looking forward to finally seeing a pair of those in person.

I found a decent deal on 4" fiberglass bags from chopperscycle. 500 bucks for 4" stretched fiberglass bags with liners. I bought a set, haven't had them painted yet, but they look pretty much ready for paint. Imo, Any primered parts will need a little bit of attention, I don't care how good the manufacturer is. Keeping the prep work down to a minimum is key.
The FF bags weren't even a consideration.
