Why take a chance with questionable brass.

If it was in original factory shrink packaging I would feel confident about it.

The Honda logo for this listing essentially means nothing.  It's an aftermarket kit, and the seller knows that people are more likely to buy it or think it's "legit" if he prints out a little Honda logo and puts it there.  That's all it is.

Correct.  The ad clearly states "Honda oem reproduction"

It's too bad a guy would resort to this instead of just telling the truth, that they are aftermarket parts.

I KNOW they're after market. But they are Japanese and they include a needle. I merely wondered if anyone had first-hand knowledge.

Just order the real OEM kits from Honda....probably for less....

it's inexpensive enough to find out Terry. Let us know how it goes!

Might do that. As far as I know needles aren't available anymore and these might be worth a look.

Seller says they are OEM. If that is true, I would expect to see the Keihin "K" on them.
Keep us posted if you buy them. Very interested to know if that's the case.

they're definitely not OEM. Sometimes, though, the original manufacturer will make repro parts that he made OEM. I doubt this is the case but hey, Japanese is waaaaaaay better than Chinese.
Oh wait, I'm on a forum......I mean better THEN Chinese.
