Moons711,
I have had two on my Lowrider.
They were both the Kuryakyn LED conversion kits.
I can't comment on the other brands though.....haven't seen those yet.
As far as bolting on, they do bolt on fine.
I think what most people (those that are saying they don't fit real well) are seeing is that the lense does'nt fit well to the chrome bezel at the top.
The lense does not fit flush with the bezel....meaning it overhangs some.
If you overtighten the screws, it makes it even worse.

I have about 1/16" to 3/32" overhang at the top as you run your finger along the top edge. It's not all that noticable, but not as good a fit as the stock lense though.
That's the way it is on my application anyway.
I took the first lense back and exchanged it for another on, and both were the same so I just live with it.
Just don't overtighten it and you should be ok.
They do look good though.
