i fall in between the two camps. sure, i went with the cheapo amazon lowers. why? i can get 6 sets for the cost of one oem set. and lowers are something that sit low to the ground and get beat to **** by road debris. now, for the tourpack, i went oem. even though i don't use it but a couple of times a year, i wanted to go with the hd quality on that.
If the lowers crack or something happens, then they can be removed and continue to ride. If the trunk breaks, cracks, fails to hold passenger, then an accident and injuries can occur. I fell you made good choices.

Lot more responses than I figured. Amazon is mentioned a few times, I looked and hell a **** ton of vendors.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent quality product?

Thanks much.

my lowers were tcmt. but, im pretty sure they're all the same. i would definitely suggest that if you are ordering a tourpack, order one with a metal baseplate, or order the base plate separately. either way, make sure you get that metal base.

I just bought the 21 inch wheel they just came out with...love it...also like it that they offer a wrap around back rest for the chopped tour pack. I bought the HD chopped tour pack and put the Advanblack wrap around back rest pad on it and it looks great.

I know we're not the cheapest but we're always not comparing apples to apples to a lot these companies mentioned above and we use Made in the USA products. Keep us in mind if you're in the market for stretched bags or fenders. We do offer free shipping within the lower 48. We are also a Bad Dad dealer if you like any of their kits. You can reach us anytime at 605-929-7380 or check everything out at www.thefactorymatch.com

May want to look to dirtybird for bags, fenders, etc.
quality is second to none. They don't do paint which I think is actually smart.
