Anybody ever buy anything from Chilhowee Motorcycle leather? Was it a good or bad experience? Thanks

Not sure if anyone here has ever used them but I took a look at their website and they seem to have some pretty good pricing and they guarantee their products.
http://www.chilhowee.net/ Let us know if you use them. |

I know I remember someone here recomending their products but I cant remember who. It was probably years ago. Maybe HDMARK. Their stuff looks decent anyway. One brand I can definitely recomend is Fox Creek Leather. They may be a bit more expensive but they are very high quality stuff.

I was looking for engine guard chaps for my Yamaha. A guy on a Yahama site said they made a pair for his bike, took a while because it was the first one they'd ever made for that model but he said they were great. Seemed like they go out of the way for their customers. I was broke at the time, so I didn't order theirs but I sure WANTED TO! They were cool.

Just wondering if you were referring to Chilhowee or Fox Creek leathers since the preceding posts referred to both... |

Ordered some lever and grip covers a few years back. They accidentally sent 2 sets of lever covers instead. Called them and they said keep the second set as spares and the right ones will be in the post. Good as their word. Good quality and good service.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Overall, it seems like they are an ok company to deal with. I will check out Fox Creek, too.

I wanted to update you all. I brought the bags and EZ brackets from Chilhowee. The install was a snap and the quality of the bags is great.
