Chinese ignition switch - good for use?

Post by spenceley1 »

so some how whilst having my bike on stands for a while and not using it I have managed to lose my key :oops: (only got one when i brought it)

Thinking of replacing the ignition unit with a one from china, as in link below, just wondering if anyone had any experience with using it and if they are good to go?

Cheers in advance

I've used a couple of chinese ones - the first plugged straight in fine, the second was fitted with the wrong plug (required rewiring and soldering).
