Sounds like they're Chinese made, they'll probably last 3 rides or break.

possible yes made in china...i was just considering 1 the price & 2 a buddy bought them,he rides every weekend ,has had them for 4months and says they r holding up well,,,

Those pads wear quick, I went through them in 3 months. "kinda riding alot, almost everyday"

I bought EBC severe duty brakes 4 years ago, havent rode as much at all, but I still wont be replacing these for awhile.

You can buy 3 Iphones from the flee market for about 50 bucks, see how well those work for you; if you understand what I'm getting at.

Believe Me you don't want them I put them on My Yamaha Grizzly 450 and 90 miles later they were "Metal To Metal" Gone,Replaced them with OEM Yamaha Pads & They are still on there over 200 miles later Many of those miles @ Hatfield McCoy where brakes get used a lot!

what material ,are these cheap pads from china made of?..they fit,look & feel like the OEM pads..man does china make anything thats cheap,long lasting & non toxic? hahaha

I mistakenly bought a raptor PetCock that was labeled "GENUINE YAMAHA" but when it came in it was obviously a chinese made petcock and not an OEM yamaha part. I tried it on the bike and sure enough my bike was sputtering within the first 20 minutes due to lack of fuel being flowed to the carb.

I'd only buy OEM labeled parts if I'm not going aftermarket with a trusted brand.

You sound pretty intent on getting the chinese pads though. If they're any good then that's awesome, if not you're gonna hear a lot of "I told ya so!" :p
