Errrr, I very much doubt that they're true yoshi or brembo items!

Cheap steering dampers I have no problems with, cheap calipers are a different story. Each to their own and all... :roll:
i have no intensions of buying the brembos! ill stick with my nissins im just saying what other bits he has, as for the yoshis's they could be an interesting buy,

There all replica (fake) items.

Some of the stuff is of an acceptable quality but some of it's awful, tends to vary between sellers and manufactureres

did he include the rose, or was that another separate order?

I had a look at these items and i think that the calipers are for pit bikes and monkey bikes only. And i agree i wouldn't risk a cheap pair of calipers.

the rose was from a different seller but the 41mm clamp ( NC30 forks are 41mm) was from the same seller as the damper and he knocked off the price of delivery as he put it in the same box as the damper.

cheap dampers don't worry me but when it comes to brakes i wouldn't be buying anything other than geniune items. after all the only thing stopping you from hitting something thats just pulled out on you is the brakes and i don't want to run the risk of them failing.

if anyone does go for these dampers and wants to know how i've fitted mine drop me a mail.

Personally I wouldn't trust anything cheap from the far east. I'm paranoid that the cheap dampners will seize up and send me hurtling into a tree.

I have a Toby on mine

my NC30's have never needed one and when they have "shaken there heads" at me they normally sort themselves out once the front wheel touches down again.

if you want one for looks, go for it but i wouldn't say they "NEED" them.

Unless you plan on riding like you are at the TT, i think the NC's are pretty stable, and you should be fine ;)
