| Hi Guys well i took the gamble on sending for a Chinese Sissy bar and rack mainly cost ?? so i waited in anticipation and they were here within the week i opened the box and was quite surprised as to the quality yes it was not 100% perfect i.e. the welding was a little over the top but i wasn't worried about that and the chroming was not top class but i was pleasantly surprised and i am sure if cared for well it last will last a good many miles it fitted good the only thing i did was put rubber washers between the rear fender guard and the sissy bar brackets so the chrome wasn't rubbing together hence i had to then use slightly longer bolts so there you have it that's my opinion on my recent purchase. | |

| There's a lot of good stuff coming from China these days! they've certainly raised the quality over the past year or two, glad you like your purchase | |

| Well done Drifter got to agree with Sim

just don't use abrasive cleaners on it or the chrome will disappear. I have got loads from China and found them ok. | |

| Sounds good if the price is right, any chance of a link/price? My friend says he has bought chromed items from China, his advice is simply to keep a little protection applied to help fend of UK weather conditions. | |

Black on Black looks good 'Boss' as we all know! | |
