Whats your opinion on the ebay recs mate?
Good and bad. As with anything, you tend to hear mostly bad reports with such parts, simply because it typical people only speak about it because it's an issue. Rather than those blissfully unaware people, that installed it and forgot about it, because it's no longer a problem.
Otherwise... it's difficult to say. There could be some good ones hit the market then a period of bad ones. Pretty cheap, so keep that in mind. Ideally, if it failed you'd take it back for a replacement. But I wouldn't expect any such service from an ebayer in China... typically they just ignore those emails - unless perhaps you can threaten with negative feedback and they care enough hahaa...
You could always consider the chances that buying 2 or 3 of them worst case, you'd still be ahead of the $180 Honda ones... if it come to that. Heck... buy 2 at the same time... if the first works good for a month, sell the other on ebay or here. If you want to spend more, then perhaps one off a different bike would be the next cost effective choice.
