Have seen some that the back part is more squared off and don't like them. Same here! I think the square jobs are the ones made by MC Enterprises. I picked up the ebay version a coupla few years back. They'd post 1-2 weekly. I would just back off when the price broke over $200.00. I didn't get the cheapest bid like some but I did finally win mine for under $200 shipped. Mine seem to be holding up, so far so good.   Congrats on the new addition!

How are we going to be able to tell the OEM Honda from the knockoffs down the road?

Quality of materials and quality of workmanship will become evident and apparent after a period of time determined by where the bike is ridden and kept. OEM shines thru  ***

I looked on ebay and saw that "potbelly biker" sells these but does anyone know the manufacturer to see about buying these direct?

I imagine the oem fits a little better, but anyone with a bit of mechanical ability can tweek them enough to fit well. Did not take much on mine. Hoser
