All the lights i bought to change mine to led were fantastic. Just make sure the lights are sealed and the leds are not exsposed. Just remember you get what you pay for. Some special tools that you use maybe once a year you can't beat the price. Somehow the chinese must have hogs cause they work great.

I bought a set of extended 14+ saddle bags from Amazon. Strictly to see if I could make them fit my 1997 Road King. After a little work on the brackets, they fit and look great. If these cheap bags crack or break or anything, I'll replace with the good ones. But for $250, it's hard to complain. And they came with the new style lids and hardware pre-assembled. Surprisingly good quality, but they are certainly a bit thinner than the stock bags. Time will tell......Oh, I also got one of those TCMT luggage racks and it's not bad at all.

I did have an issue with KEMI where the drink holder warped after a full riding season, ended up getting a kuryaken (spelling?) for the next season. A LOT of parts are not available for bikes at the moment, all the shops are running out of stock on HD and after market stuff.
