Couldn't find a topic like this, maybe a good place to share good (and bad) experiences.
Granted, purists should look away
.
(this topic is not intended to discuss whether or not it's a good idea to buy Chinese stuff, there are pro's and con's and every adult can make their own decision)To my experience, Aliexpress sells some good items related to motorcycles (some, not all).
Recently, I've had quite a few good 'gambles', especially with my other motorcycles (Aprilia and Moto Guzzi), which I customized quite heavily. Keeps the hobby affordable and most importantly a lot of this stuff is sold by local webshops as well, without any change.
I've bought motorcycle lighting (head- read- indicators), mirrors, handle bars, etc.
So, I thought it'd be good to share Honda CB related experiences with each other:
- Throttle Cables:
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000215437713.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.49084c4dvwhm3EAlready fitted, perfect! Blackened at the handle bar side, which I personally find more appealing than chrome.
- Kickstarter:
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32487777394.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dxGKmgqOrdered, awaiting delivery. Looks almost identical to my original one (with worn out splines).
- Coils:
https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32894384443.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dxGKmgqOrdered, awaiting delivery. Looks identical to the ones I ordered at Wemoto last year and are working great on my finished CB.
Not an OEM fit though: different h-h distance between mounting holes, but can be made to fit.
Feel free to share your experiences.
