Tourer accessories on ebay?
#11
I purchased a sissy bar, and a luggage rack off eBay, what I did was look for a seller where I could read the feed back from previous people who had purchased and commented on the quality of the chrome and hardware, until I found a reputable seller then made my purchase.
With that said, yes I was happy with the over all quality, and saved $$$$.

, but in response to the "You get what you pay for, or rather what you don't pay for" comment,, I disagree, it's not always the case,, probably most times, but I've bought things from Harbor Freight, or Northern,, super cheap, but was fine for what I needed,, so It's a crap shoot.
The best I can tell, tools from Harbor Freight and toilet paper have the same use.

Just because it was" fine for what you needed ", does not mean you got something you didn't pay for. What may be fine for you, doesn't constitute quality. There is nothing from Harbor Freight I would either buy or use. Their quality is not sufficient, regardless of price. I use tools, equipment and supplies daily. I prefer to buy my tools one time. The only items I can think of that I buy to be disposable are paper towels, paper plates, Bic lighters and of course, toilet paper.

I do the same. I've been buying and selling on eBay for 15 years. Sometimes you do get what you pay for, but not always. If you're careful enough and do enough research, you'll come out ahead "most" of the time. And the times that you don't, just chalk it up as part of the game. If you find 4 good deals and the 5th is a bust, you're probably still ahead of the curve.

Your loss is my gain.
I have four 4 1/2" grinders two of which have already seen their 10th birthday, the other two are going on 8 years. No problems - I can't kill them no matter how much abuse I give them. I have some of their other stuff that won't die either.
If you've never bought and/or used any if their products you're just talking out your fanny.
I'm not saying HF is known for high quality tools - just that one shouldn't dismiss everything they have because it doesn't say Snap-on or Milwaukee on the side.
