Thing is I used to live in NY and after a while got friendly with a few people on Canal Street and once round the back and into the 'showroom' the quality of the replicas was unbelievable, so I feel it is wrong to instantly dismiss something made in China.
Only living and riding motorbikes in MAINLAND CHINA since 1989 and might know a thing or six about the country... 'nuff said....
Mate ~ absolute no interest to check some fake gear in China, my time is way too valuable going riding' or relaxing with my family.... Well, as the saying goes, got a 5$ head ~ wear a 5$ helmet or cheap MIC copy gear.... travel and stay safe....
