    3w led running lights for $5us a pair, free freight. Worth the risk and it turns out they work brilliantly.

    Which ones did you get?

    Some cheap stuff there... Chinese cheap of course, but worth the risk.
    H7 HID replacement Bulbs for $10 or so, LCD voltage meters less than $10... Might be shopping time...

    Basically they roll out of the same factory in China. K&N buys from them and put K&N sticker on it. Other Chinese buys leftovers/ nightshift products and sells them for their benefits.

    Six of one thing half a dozen of another.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Short version for those who can't be bothered reading:

    Product: As described or better.
    Shipping: Bloody slow to get underway, but arrived in under 30 days all up.
    Price: Cheap.
    Communication: Have had more involved conversations with my pet rock.
    Verdict: 8/10, would bang on weekends.

    Couldn't get the right size locally in Blenheim and the LS2 agent was out of stock nationally (and didn't want to pull one out of stock of another shop in case I changed my mind/it didn't fit) so I thought I'd take a swing at the helmet I wanted off Aliexpress. Was a bit nervous because I didn't have a chance to try on the size I thought I would need, but figured I could break even flicking it on if it didn't.
    Well it landed today and she fits fawkin perfect!

    Bloody cheap compared to locally (although I thought $300 was still a pretty good deal) however it comes with a massive wait and I'm glad it was packed well because the box looks like it had a hard time getting here.

    Threw some pants into the order while I was at it and what arrived was not as picture, but better and actually a pair of Alpinestars, schweet!
    No idea if they are knock offs, don't really care for the price (thought I was buying unbranded anyway) but the helmet is certainly legit and although I chose snail mail for the pants the dude threw them in fasterish post with the helmet.

    Main tip would be to vet the stores (like you do buyers on trademe) as there are a few dodgy looking ones on there. There were one or two that had cheaper prices on the same helmet but less, none or crappy feedback so steered clear for the sake of $20 or so US more.

    I bought some hunting torches from there, and the chic called me from China to make sure I got the items as i forgot to confirm delivery. Bloody great service I say.
