You can literally see and feel the difference in quality between OEM and the knock offs.

BIG time!! I still have my OEM pre-2014 tour-pak, and the first thing I noticed after receiving the new Advanblack was how much more flexible the Advablack one was. The ABS is a little thinner than the OEM SMC, and the paint is WAY better on the OEM, as well.

Cheers!

i thought about him and the bullshit he's been through with his bargain tour pack....i'm glad for our brother that he got resolution from them, but to not go through that in the first place is the better option

in this case, HD is more expensive, but buy once, cry once
