The reason its come to light is in the first sentence of the article that OP posted. Customs seizures of counterfeit parts have nearly doubled last year.
And like you said, sure some of those parts will work just as good as OEM. But theres no way for consumers to know. And its not just a...
Well, that pretty much explains why I dont go on any big organized trail rides. Nor do I ride in any motorcycle gatherings. And I thought I was just getting old and grumpy.
And for the record, I use the word Lazy but theres a fine line between lazy and progress. I am sure, when the first washing machines came out, there were grandmas across America who scoffed at the device. “How will you make sure the stains come off, if you aren’t scrubbing them off by hand? That...

Thats a shame. Maybe the CEO needs to get a little more involved, even start working an occasional shift with the crew. At least thats what I would do if I cared about my company.
