Hi guys,
I own Street Glide 2020 and my front tire TPMS sensor died. So I bought a set from an eBay seller. He has 25 000 feedback points, most of these are positive.
The item description said the sensors, which he were selling, are “New”.
But, after I had opened the box, one valve was grey and second was black. On the internet, I have seen unpacking videos and always, both of them were black. Also, one sensor had already screwed bolt inside the valve and second didn’t.
Has anyone of you ever encoutered this?
Do you think that this item has never been new, but it is an used one?
In the attachment, I’m adding a photo of the sensors.

 

Did the description say they were actual H-D parts or did it say they were H-D compatible (3rd party)?

I’m looking at an eBay seller with almost 25K points and the description he gives is they are Mid USA brand-Compatible make Harley Davidson.

Did you contact the seller?

 

It should be a genuine part. I was searching these sensors with the OEM part number, just to be sure they will fit my model.

Yes I’ve contacted him, but I wanted to ask also here on the forum.

 

Just because you searched by part numbers and the eBay listing shows the part numbers, that does not mean they are actual H-D parts. I learned that years ago.

 

Well, sensors are OEM but valves are clearly aftermarket. I found even some fingerprints and dirt so it was used for sure. Anyway, return ticket has been submited to eBay and I’m gonna return it.

 

Looks like you got one of these : https://www.ebay.com/itm/29658716043...aba8e0c2c905b9

 

Yeah, the harley kit comes with 2 identical valves ... Not 1 black & 1 gray

 

This is one reason I will never use eBay...

 

Ebay is great for saving money on used & new parts and nla parts, I've bought hundreds of items, never got screwed, it's up to you to do the research, contact the seller if you have questions.
If you receive something that's not as described, contact the seller, if they don't resolve the problem, open a claim, ebay will step in.

 

Nope, way too many counterfeit parts that you can't differentiate from true real products.
