Ok I will apologize for my last comment but I have to say that this wholesale condemnation of anything Chinese or Asian very distasteful.
As for being negative... you should read back on some of the attacks I fended off earlier in the thread.

ChicagoAl I agree with that...That's why I did not take the note about cotters facing different ways to heart. I may be new to this forum but I am no "newbie" (Lets face it that is demeaning term) I am in my fifties and have spent years renovating old motorcycles in days gone by.

Always happy to learn something new but fight agains generalizations, which I very really find helpful.
