Funniest knock off I've seen

[MV]

I bought one of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Left-Radial-Master-Cylinder-Stunt-Bike-Brake-Clutch-FZR-YZF-CBR-ZX-13mm-/221502961643?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item33929af7eb

But I got it direct from China for about $30. It looked pretty decent in the pics, but didn't hold up to scrutiny in the flesh. Dodgy action, bad tolerances & the brake fluid hose was not compatible with brake fluid, sweated like a pregnant dog! Anodizing was also sub par. Still in my shed, I'll pull it apart one day & see how bad it is inside.

Never used it, it was just fitted to my trackbike for a bit, replaced it with a late model Gixxer unit. That one in the phopo actually looks pretty decent, might be worth a shot for the price!

Not me.

There doesn't look to be any way the ones I posted are "made in the same factory" as genuine Brembo MC's. Even in the pics they look like cheap pot metal poorly seamed together. I'm no stranger to CN merchandise...their quality is all over the spectrum + -, they can build good products for a low price, but not a direct to public $39 MC. They can't even make a half decent $39 tattoo machine which is a very simple device unless I bought at least several hundred of em.

I got to looking at that motoo outfit and even if some of their stuff is knockoff, it cheap enough not to matter.

I like these little guys. I could do all sort of things. And they're cheap. I can make them suit my needs. Sometimes chinese knockoffs can be of some use after all.

Damn! The wonders of CNC and cheap labor. Now, if they would just realize that their anodizing color palette sucks and use dyes like the rest of the world.

I'd spray paint them black anyways. Just like most of my parts.

Eli, years ago for a build I bought a set of the Brombo radials from a seller on ebay. They leaked so I got a couple of the rebuild kits from Yoyodyne and they worked well enough but got rid of them because while they worked I still felt a lack of confidence. Waited a while and found a used radial set from, I think a multistrada.

Thanks for the feedback I actually was curious. But I already purchased authentic RCS masters last year and they've been patiently waiting. I would never put them on my M944SS anyway, but at this price I still might pick up a set for the RAT750 if it ever gets built.

Try it. But I dont think I need to remind you how difficult returns are to China.
