I get the impression that theres v good and v bad. The problem is sorting out which is which.
I havent had any body work from the far east but I did order some pazzo look-a-like levers.
I did my research (even tho its always gonna be a bit of a gamble) and the 2 levers I got were superb!
Couldnt tell em from the real thing.

There was a lad on American 10R forum fitted one off these kits and posted pics (will try and find) and in his own words "took some modification to fit" and he could gert none off belly pan edges to line up. Also there where no fittings for Brake light in tail unit.

Anything that is made in hong kong should be avoided like the plague. Cheap and really nasty.

one of the fitters at kestrel honda fitted as a hannspree replica from china on his 08-9 blade

all at the dealership were impressed with it....as said some holes needed a drill bit running through them just to open them out abit.

otherwise excellent value for money  :headbang:

There's not much made in the UK anymore and most things are imported with a huge amount of stuff from China.
I take it EXJ10R doesn't own anything electrical that hadn't been made out here????

Hugo Boss clothing is made in Cambodia & Vietnam, i still buy it 'cause it good quality clothing

Taiwan is a huge major exporter of PC components and DELL has one of its manufacturing bases in Penang, Malaysia as do Blaupunkt amongst many other numerous companies. Why? because labours cheap, overheads are low.

China do make some good stuff but they also make some poor quality stuff too,

Like Horse said, you pay your money and you get what you pay for.
