Question

I know what you mean...

I think even a little knowledge can go a long way.

I've always tried to stick to the correct brands (genuine Brembo, Ohlins, MS Production), but even ignoring the blatant 'fake' items that pop up in places (i.e. Thailand and Hong Kong) there's a (albeit small) group of people within Europe that're pretty 'economical' with information that would help a buyer.

When it comes to 'cheap' parts, I suppose it's very much 'you get what you pay for'...

There's arguments either way, as I know a couple of people who're very pleased with pattern and painted 'Chinese' fairings. Personally, it's not what I'm looking for, but I can understand why they've made their choice.

My only worry is what happens when I try to sell stuff myself... I've had this sort of argument with 2-stroke parts, with people saying that they can get cheaper elsewhere. 'Fair enough' is my normal frame of mind, but they seemed stunned when I give them a 'bottom/final' price and say that I'm not going to sell it at a loss.
