Default After Market Chrome

Anyone have any experience with Custom Chrome brand parts? Is the fit and finish as good as HD brand? Any other brands I should consider? Thanks -Ed

I have some on my bike. The chrome is OK but not great. The HD quality is far better in my opinion.

Yeah, Harley bling is very expensive but they do turn out a good product (for the most part).

I bought alot of aftermarket chrome for my Sporty (Drag, Kury, CC). About half of it was crap, the rest was acceptable. Very little/if any of it was as good as the HD stuff though. My biggest complaint with HD accessories in general are the installation instructions.
