They look great! I'm in the same situation except I need mine painted jade green and black. I don't want to be too nosey, but can you elaborate on the financial damage I can expect (ball park)?

I think it all depends on where you live. Some of the Southerners suggested it might run $200-$300. I got four quotes, two from autobody repair shops and two from custom painters. They were all over $600. It ended up being about $650 :'( I think partly because the pearl/ivory is hard to match. A fellow member here in Colorado had his Interstate tank painted OEM black and it was over $500. Thanks again for all the compliments . I can't wait to get her outside and take some real pictures. My garage doesn't have the best lighting. One more pic from her fat arse!  |

They are actually Interstate bags and I have the Interstate logos. Maybe someone would be willing to trade for a Tourer set. |

Nice paint, and good choice on the color design.... not only does it perfectly match the bike, but wrapping the white around the back makes the bike a lot more visible. |

great looking bike!!! For what it is worth....I had a friend paint my bags for free, and he did a great job on them. He had them 10 months and I didn't want to seem "pushy", but wished I would of paid a premium to have gotten them faster  . I just took my trunk to him this week....I will never learn  |

That is a little more "pricey" than what some of us have paid, but every time you see your girl in the garage or parking lot on a ride somewhere, you will be glad you had them painted. Excellent job and I love it!!!!!!!! |

I'll forget about the money when the weather warms up and I'm out riding |

Looks much better than when they did not match! Remember you only paid too much once, but they will look great every time you look at the bike. I love that color combo, even though my black and chrome one is faster.  |

I gave the painter the oem codes. He matched them up with PPG paint and mixed them himself. |

Yes, those are Mark T's. I have already contacted him about getting some 40" stacks instead of the 36" I have . I think they would look better with the hardbags if they extended a bit. As for the picture, when I get back in town on Friday I will try to roll her out. My wife told me the weather has been nasty all week and there is lots of snow on the ground. I guess I won't be riding anytime soon . |
