Default Daymaker knock offs

Just wondering if anyone on here has had any luck with the daymaker knock offs on ebay? Hate to say it, but most Harley parts are from China anyways just have twice the mark up. Thanks in advance

Yep, twice the markup, twice the engineering and 3 times the quality control.


But you are correct they do have twice the mark up...


All depends what is important to you.

My only hesitation would be to buy something that has no warranty or customer service. A reputable company will stand behind their products, no matter where they are made. Is it really worth the money saved if something turns into a paper weight?

When you're done making unfounded assumptions about company's reputations, call octane lighting and see how good their customer service is. Warranty, replacement, the whole nine yards. He took care of me on an issue with no questions asked.
