The OKO copies seem to work just fine, they have been doing it for ages and just shows what the price of a Keihin should be
as they are made " just down the road " form the OKO plant anyway.
I machined the bore of one the other day, and the material was really nice with no inclusions or rubbish in the casting at all.
Same with Brembo brake copies. I bought a rear caliper for $60 with free shipping,and once I changed to SBS pads it has worked perfectly for 3 seasons
racing.
The real deal cost upward of $400 and as far as anyone is concerned it really is a Brembo.
Those old jokes about coke cans being used to make castings are wearing a bit thin these days, as the vast majority of machine tools used to make parts in the West have been made in Taiwan
for over 30 years.
Where do Brembo get off trying to charge $1K for a MotoGP 19RCS " forged " master cylinder when one that actually has been " forged " cost less than $100.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.
