review time

Ok tekslk,
Time for "Devil's Advocate"...
50 years ago anything Japanese was garbage, or so most thought. Within 10 years Japanese "garbage" was pretty damn good, enough so to pretty much destroy other countries economies. Today anything from there is generally considered "top shelf" in terms of quality.
I seem to remember, oh maybe 30-35 years ago, the same with Taiwan. By the mid 90's pretty much anything from there was of very good quality.
We are coming to that point with Chinese products (not that I want to be a guinea pig).
I see more and more all the time. Their stuff is getting better all the time. The biggest piss about it is their lack of real R&D. It's all just reverse engineering. Take a good product, and copy it (right down to it's shortcomings).
I'd love to say "just say NO" to Chinese products, I think we all would, but I'm pretty sure we ALL have quite a few (whether we want to acknowledge it or not). Otherwise WallyWorld wouldn't be our biggest retailer...
Of course, everyone one here can poke fun at you in hopes of dissuading you from the purchase of clone rockers, but as you said, the price IS tempting.
(OF course, all here will expect a full report. You know, .650" lift, 230# on the seat, 600# over the nose, 8000+ RPM every time you drive it, and last 100,000 miles).:cheers:

All true.
