as i sit here lookign at my "Ralex" submarine watch, i must say knock off's are bad, bad bad. you should always be azzraped by paying for the over priced official items. seriously there shouldnt be any issue paying 3-4 times more then another equally manufactured item simply because it has HD on the tag.

in all honesty theres a few places you can find that will custom make a leather jacket for you for the same price as the dealer charges. granted you might not get the OFFICIAL logo on it but wtf who needs a logo when you got a good quality hand fitted leather jacket

Personally I don't like to patronize businesses that offer knock-offs. To me it just cheapens the real product. Alot of these knock offs are not the same same as the labeled product.

But I do believe Harley is listening I was supprised to see that they are offering more leather that is American Made of Foreign leather. As indicated on their web-site. That I this is very good. That said I hope they are made by Americans not illegal sweat shop labor.

If the Moco really moniters the site, then they should understand how much they are alienating people with their overpriced Chinese "knock offs" ( well, the tat isn't made in the U.S.A. is it?)

It takes a lot to build a brand, and those who do so should be entitled to benefit from that work and history. People who try to free-ride on that brand by using it without permission or without paying royalties are thieves, plain and simple.

It wouldn't surprise me if they've read some of our recent comments
