Default 4-Point Docking Hardware...

Does anyone know whether or not the 4-Point Docking Hardware has any brand markings or HD stamps to certify it as authentic HD brand? Thanks in advance.

I bought one of the knock offs from Amazon
Amazon Amazon
But I got my sissybar and luggage rack from my local Harley dealer. I figured the 4 point doc is mostly hidden, so I went witht he knock off to save some money. Both my authentic HD rack/sissy bar connect to it no problem.

O.K., great and thanks for the responses. Just wanted to verify as I just received a set I bought thru e-bay and it didn't contain any HD markings. It was advertised as a Harley original and it was brand new "old stock". I am happy with the purchase, the chrome looks flawless and of high quality (not like some items I bought from China), and of course at $23.49, now that you guys confirmef that there are no markings, I am even happier.

at $23.49, I can say with 99% certainty that you did not get genuine hd.

but as long as you're happy with it, great.

It was new old stock from a motorcycle rental fleet company. Believe it or not, there are deals to be had on eBay, you just have to look for them and be patient. Recently, I lost an original sissy bar and backrest pad that went for $103.00. It was being sold by a Harley dealership and it was only used as a display on one of the motorcycles in their showroom. Ended up finding another one with the stealth luggage rack for just a bit more. Again, patience paid off.
