Lightbulb Chinese Discs

I'm contemplating a new set of discs to go on my newly painted wheels. Has anyone tried these?

Brake Disc Full Set For Honda CBR1000 F 87-92 on eBay (end time 25-May-11 08:14:55 BST)

They're a good price for the set and don't look too bad. 5 mm thick.
Just thought I'd ask. If anyone's got any feedback I'd appreciate it before shelling out.

I seen those on the Bay a few weeks ago. Much more expensive on my side of the pond. Kinda unique looking. Wonder how well they hold up?

Yeah Mark is right, someone is riding on those discs and I remember them saying they were OK

Quite fancy them myself.

Yep, I've got them on and am very pleased with them. Great value for the money. and couldn't afford genuine Honda discs.

Hi Sprock, I noticed it was leaking again yesterday:-(
I don't think you can get the inner four way seal for the 87 and I think it needs replacing. I will take it apart again and have a look to see if I can make something up for it!!

Can you make two while you're at it please Robbie. Mine has only one function, always on, no off, no reserve. I suspect it's the same bit of rubber that's failed on mine, have had a trawl thru the K&L website but they don't seem to have diddly squat for the 87.
Cheers

Well chaps,
thanks for all the replies to my question and the link to Dragon's thread too Mark.
I'm going to fit my new wheels and tyres tomorrow and just transfer the discs over for now. Those chinese discs are definitely on the cards though later in the year.
Just can't wait to try out the new Dunflop Q2 rubbers. They look like mean.
