I wonder if MOCO knows about this

 

Damn... a hell of a price and IF the quality is there, a hell of a deal.

 

Looks identical to my genuine HD set up.
Is it really a copy?

 

Could be overstock material they just wish to move.

 

they are copies. buying them is stealing.

 

That's what I thought. Doesn't MOCO have a patent on the design? I wonder if some e-bayers are selling these as OEM . Some of the stuff I've seen on e-bay, and advertised as OEM and new, is selling way too cheap to be real. IMO. I asked one seller about it, and his reply was that it was excellent quality and that I would be very satisfied with it. Didn't actually say that it was a knock-off and not OEM. Buyer beware.

 

Heck, they are all coming out of the same damn Chinese/Korean/Indian factory (or factory region in those countries) anyway. Hard to really tell these days. Whether it's running shoes, furniture or motorcycle parts, most products are made in the same overseas factory and just stamped with a different brand label on the way out the door.

If it is a copy from Chinese Factory A, it was probably made by a former employee of Chinese Factory A who now works 1/2 mile down the street at Chinese Factory B.

It's still wrong, but I doubt an American factory worker is going to lose a job over this - if there are any left.

 

I picked one of those up at the local bike shop (used and genuine HD) for $175.

 

You have a good point.

 

I bought the rack as already had the studded pillion but sure looks like the one I have. Can't remember what I paid for it though....
