The Chinese copies? If so, yes. I got mine direct from the maker. One thing is the way it mounts to the inner guard. I had to move a few things on it to make it fit the correct way around. |

It stops fine, but seems to have less pressure assist than my VH44J (with S brakes) does. It could be the pads, I dunno. My only concern would be for parts when needed, whoyagunnacall. What kit fits them? |

Being made in China is probably cheaper to get a new booster |

You can buy kits for them from the maker. |

Where is the importer that you got it from TK? Do you have any lack of assist? Thanks |

I tend to agree with drmini. I wouldn't buy a chinese one unless you were sure it was of the same quality as original, and I can see no way you can be sure of this. I bought a reconditioned VH44JA on eBay for about $350. There's one there atm: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VH44JA-PBR-D ... veGRCL6sUg Jon |
