I just got there extended bags about a month ago because I had one fall off on the highway. My bike is denim black and they march up great. The hardware is kinda crappy I have to buy lid tethers because the ones supplied are not gonna work and one bag the supplied screws for the tether are to small and won't grab. Other then that I think it's a great buy for the money if you have a vivid or denim bike and a limited budget lol

Mutazu driver backrest
We're about to take our first road trip on our 3 month old 2014 Ultra Limited and I think I'm gonna try the Mitazo DH5 model. I called Mitazu today and the nice lady was very helpful... Spent a lot of time setting low expectations for fitment, but said they fly out the door at this price. Said there are two models, a cheap one and a really cheap one. She suggested paying the extra $20 for the DH5. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mutazu-2014-...3D231517266772
That comes to $139... and it appears to bolt right to the two bolts under the slotted seat.
The Harley mounting bracket costs something like $245, without the backrest itself. I'll probably take this thing off when I get home (see comment below), so a cheaper option seems smart. Anyone got any experience with this thing? I realize it won't be as adjustable at the Harley bracket, which I should have taken off the old bike before we traded it in.
That was an 03' Ultra Classic... and I think it gave me lazy abs. I've had a lot of back and hip probs over the last several years, and now my physical therapist and also my performance in yoga class tells me I have very weak lower abdominal muscles, and lots of related tightness in hips all way up to neck.
When time for new bike I decided to try without it.... and it IS good abdominal exercise... If I stick my butt out and roll my shoulders back I can extend our rides beyond 45 minutes. Now I'm good for 1.5 hours or so.. then have to get off and do yoga... dont' laugh.. it helps. As does ibuprofen.
I am gradually getting stronger down there. But I don't want to push it on longer driving days a long way from home.

Did you use their hardware or HD? Did you add anything else to make it work that doesn't come with it? I'm been eyeballing that one and the king pak.

I got the inner and outer fairing, streched bags, lowers and speaker pods. The paint was good, but all the parts were wavy. Only took about a half dat to make em right though. Used HD hardware on all of it. Looks good for the money.
