Your paying for decent helm joints to start with, and ones that the threads on the joints are opposing, so you can adjust it when still on the bike. Not ones with cheap stamp helm joints that are going to be rattling in a mater of weeks, and both sides threaded same direction, so to adjust, have to pull it off the fixed to points.
The HD units fit the bill nicely, while the sub $30 units on Amazon, junk helm joints to begin with.

I agree, it is unfortunate that HD does not have them with black joints & hardware.
I had to source mine elsewhere.
I was also responding to the part he posted but with a little cosmetic change.

I was looking for good heim joints and ended up with $10 per pair ones from Amazon. I didn't find a good brand, that was the right size, with female threads. The Amazon ones are tight and do the job.
Vendors that sell them as upgraded Harley parts don't mention brand names or the country of origin. There's probably a reason for that.
