Rotors for GSX

[norwester]

Hi all . I have to replace a rotor on my 03 GSX 1400, I rang Suzuki to inquire about a replacement set and found them a bit on the exspensive side...on to the web found them for half the price on TM and dug a bit farther on E-bay and down to a fourth of the OE cost...The dealer offered me a set of aftermarket type ,origin unknowen, the ones online are from china, as are them all i suspect...Question..am i being parainoid ,has anyone bought a set off e-bay? any feed back would be appreacited

No brand made in China items??........If the item is 1/4 the price of a reputable brand you have to ask why. Slave labour, cheap materials, zero testing, zero R&D, no returns or guarantee!?
Stay clear, your life depends on brakes.

As SPB said - beware of cheap imitations.

There is a few people making and selling cheap brake rotors - even NZ made ones. Some have had no problems others... well cheap metal will warp and crack under the intense heat and pressure.

I know it is hard but it pays to buy original manufactured parts.

Thanks for the quick replys.. I guess it was a bit of a no brainer question !
I never ride without the proper gear ETC... and stopping safely is important some reckon, and I would never quite trust it......cheers for the links SPB.
