I purchased a set of the chrome switch housings for the handlebars. I was sceptical, but they were cheap. But once I unpackaged them I was surprised by the chrome. It was exceptional. Fitment was also perfect, I couldn't be happier with them.
But let's face it, a lot of factory parts come from China anyway.

What you really have to be careful of on EBay is what is advertised as "Chrome". There are quite a few companies that buy take off parts from Dealers and resell them on EBay. Problem is created when the dealer takes those "polished" levers etc off your bike and then puts them in the box the chrome ones came in. Company reading the box that sez chrome and sells them on ebay as chrome. Many of those polished parts are very shiny and almost chrome but not the real thing. You can tell if you compare them to real chrome. I've received parts like this and have sent messages to quite a few sellers to recheck what they have. Be cautious on take off stuff.

I bought an aftermarket chrome belt guard for a Sportster once on Ebay and the chrome was garbage.
I pretty much stick to genuine Harley for chrome parts. Harley really does make some good quality chrome that lasts and will still look good years down the road. I know some of it is probably made in China but I would think they have higher manufacturing specs to follow from Harley.

I was going to ask the same thing soon, (After I get my Rushmore Road Glide) There are new 4pt docking stations on ebay for less than 125.00... in black or chrome. Wondered if anyone had bought one of those?
Guess I should have read the whole thread before posting! I see some have,,, 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. I figure the worst thing your out is shipping to return it. I look at the sellers feedback when I buy and rate my purchase from that. High number of feedbacks, and satisfaction, I'll chance it.
