Default Knockoff docking parts on eBay

So has anyone bought the knockoff docking hardware thats all over eBay? specifically the 4 point mounts and tour pak bracket.

What do you think of it?

Decent? crap? waste of money? Steal of a deal?

Its getting so you can't even find genuine HD stuff on eBay, its all knockoffs.

Ok, I bought a four-point docking hardware kit, plus adjustable quick detach sideplates, sissy bar, luggage rack, and backrest pad. Total, on my front porch: $325. The quick detach adjustable sideplates, plus the luggage rack, sissy bar, plus the backrest pad, was $199, and the four point docking hardware was $125.

I couldn't be happier. The only difference I can tell between the HD docking hardware and this is that on this one the edges aren't polished. The chrome is outstanding. The adjustable backrest angle is awesome!

So good fit and finish eh? (edge polish not withstanding - I can live with that for half the price)

Normally, I don't like buying knockoff stuff. But $360 for the harley stuff, just to take my trunk off sure seems a bit ridiculous.

Everything fit perfectly. I've had it on for almost a year, in all day rain more than once, and it looks like new. Riders see those sidewheels from across the parking lot and come over to look all the time. I get rave compliments. I don't remember the ebay seller, but let me see if I can find it in my history.

Thank you very much sir.


Glad you pointed him out to me. I was actually seeing all the chinese stuff, which is not getting the best of feedback ratings. Looks like his is a better product.

Good product, at a great price, however that big chrome adjustment **** does not integrate well into the overall design of the bike...sticks out like a sore thumb.
