What about the $17.00 Brembo copy radial master cylinders that you can get out of Thailand?

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

I hate to say it, but it sort of begs the question; how good are these components? Are they made in the same factories, on the same assembly lines, as the ones that are "real", or are they true poor knock-offs with obvoius quality deficiencies?

no idea, you'd have to buy one and evaluate it.

i would imagine that would be reversed engineered copies with inferior metals and slightly lower tolerances.

it would take a company to really do a good examination of them to see if they are truly capable components or are dangerous copies.

why would it take a company? if you have experience with metallurgy and have the right tools, it could be done at home.

if i had a set I would take them to work and give them a quick poke with the handheld XRF to get a general idea of what the rotor is made from.

ideally, then lpi rotor and carrier, but the buttons would have to be cut off to do that.

I just received a set of risers/clamps from china. These look identical to the speedymoto sets. The fit/finish is first rate at half the cost including shipping. Im lookng at some rear sets from the same company.
