Looking at the language on the boxes the cases are probably knockoffs and appear to be from China, from what one can see in the ebay listing. I'd be very careful about picking up a set of these bags.

May your friction coefficient always be constant...
If you read into their advertisement, the company is suppose to be owed by a gentleman in Southern California that started producing cylinder guards, cases and other random parts out of a factory in China.
After visiting various sites, it appears that opinions are mixed in regards to their fairing kits. If you do go this route, let us know of the quality and durability.

There are two sides to this. The first side: They are probably crap.
But the second side: honestly, cases would not be difficult to produce. Even reasonably high quality cases. The engineering and industrial expertise just isn't that hard. It is molded plastic for goodness sake. The only reason that BMW charges $50,000 for a set of cases is because they can. Not because they cost $50,000 to manufacture. It is possible these cases are completely serviceable. If the company has a return policy and a good rating, they're certainly worth a shot. If they're crap, send 'em back.

I would consider the type of plastic (brittle, thickness), color lasting, replacement parts, returning them if you have a problem, selling them if you need to..... I'll stick with BMW.

Technically, they're only assembled in China, the parts are still manufactured by whoever made the F650(single) engines. May not seem like much of a distinction though, to most.
