Default handlebar help

Was going to order h.c.c. complete apehanger kit for my flhtc, but reviews on quality scared me away. I want american made product. Am now leaning towards Cyclesmith 16" apes and L.A.Choppers cables / brake line kit 15"-17". They say they are US made, but was wondering if anyone has opinion on their quality ? I ride with precious cargo behind me, don't want to worry about something coming apart on the highway. Thank You in advance. Slacker....
