Well i guess all to save a buck or 2. I bought my 4 point docking hardware from ebay. Same sort of ad i think, but not that person. Mine came wrapped in a plastic. Fit perfect,chrome is perfect. Backrest and stealth rack fits perfect. Mine may be one of those knock offs as well but seems good. I dont think anyone should mis represent something but i guess it happen. I guess buyer beware.
Oh here was my ad on ebay that i got mine from.

The guy is selling the 4-point dock for $130 and you can go to the dealer and buy it for $160. I guess my question is why did you even take the chance? To put this in perspective it cost me almost $18 to fill up my bike the other day. I wouldn't even question paying the extra $30 for the peace of mind.

I'd notify eBay and HD. As an aside I have been trading(buying and selling) on eBay over 12 years and have had exactly ONE bad transaction in all the thousands of transactions I have completed. It's not fair to paint it all as crooks. There are some honest people and vendors there trying to give or get a fair deal. This guy not so much!

They were reported to Ebay, I have not heard anything back about it. I also sent the junk back to them yesterday so I am just waiting on my refund. If I dont receive it right away I will file a paypal claim against them.

I bought the 4 point docking harware from the same guy, the ad read that the parts were removed from bikes before being shipped over seas. I sent him a message asking if he had a tour pack mount, he said he had one he just took off a new Street Glide. I bought both parts that day, they arived within 3 days and as soon as I looked at the parts I knew they were not OEM. The docking hardware fits great and I have no issuses with them, but the tour pack mounts chrome could be a lot better. I was leaving on a trip in a few days and didn't bother complaining, maybe I stll should.
He clearly lied to me when he said they were just removed from a new bike.

well, since a street glide does not come with a tourpack mount, it is obvious he's lying.
