Ha ha, I have to laugh when I see all the posts about Cheap Chinese Crap, cos I'm old enough to remember when we all said the same about Cheap Japanese Crap! Imitators, not Innovators, blah blah blah. Look at them now...........
The fact is that Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW, Laverda, Harley Davidson etc etc etc, all have parts or even complete bikes built in China, because labour is cheap, "Work Health and Safety" laws don't exist, and build quality continues to improve.
Sure, those are "knockoff" parts, but they've been copied from "quality" parts, so quite often a master cylinder rebuild kit from whatever that MC was knocked off from will fit, and you don't have to throw it away when the seals start to leak, although they're so cheap it's probably easier to just replace the whole unit, than rebuild it.
China has become the world's factory, and so much of the world's money is heading that way, that governments are borrowing huge amounts of money from China to keep their own economies afloat, so it's also becoming the world's bank. As addicted as I am to Cheap Chinese Crap, I can't help but wonder if I'm not contributing to China's inter continental ballistic missile system, which I'm led to believe, is excellent quality...........
