They are on par with anything out there as far as quality.
I can even justify the price to a degree. There is NOTHING that is plastic on any Harley. Everything is either painted metal or cast. They weigh 900+ pounds for a reason.
If you are paying by the pound, the price is in line with their metric competitors.

That is funny. But not 100% true... my side covers under the seat (commonly known as the oil bag area) are plastic. Well I think plastic. Along with the fairings, and saddlebags. LOL!
But I have been saying it for the past several years. The new HDs are great machines, very metric turn key.
