I know the subject was mentioned before but nobody actually rated them as good or bad quality Hence my question ?? But at least you've tried them and seem to be ok Have you had the bike running yet ? Still with the saving in price i may give them a go after all its not going to be a daily rider again thanks

Had a few ring sets from them and a set of pistons for the Z650.
