Several years ago it was said that the new imports from Japan were JUNK! And many of them were, inferior metals and machine work over all quality were terrible at first. But then, them there Japanese fellers, well they figured out how to make stuff better and so today we see Honda and think "quality". Chinese items, from lead painted childrens toys to rocket ships will suffer the same fate as the early Japanese products. There may be a day when things from China have the American public seeing them as quality goods. China is still an infant in the industrial world. It will take a while for them to learn what level of quality will sell in foreign markets. Remember when the laptop batteries caused fires? They reverse engineered a battery, but didn't use quality parts. Look at all the chinese scooters laying dead, bunches of them have the GY6 clone motor in them. And while it is true that genuine OEM parts will fit in a clone, they may not fit exactly. All I'm saying in a long winded way, is be warry of the clones.
