Back in February of this year, I was in need of a front brake switch for the little CL400 ... So I took a ride to a local .. ish Honda dealer about 20 miles from me ... Not a super scarce, or rare item you'd think ... The guy serving was someone I had dealt with many times before... "That will have to come from Japan I'm afraid ... could quite easily take a month, or maybe more ... I've got some Chinese ones, they are universal ... even got them in stock." .... "Well, in that case, I'll take one then .... only a tenner..? That'll do then." Yes, I can hear you laughing already..!!! .... It has only lasted six months ... So, mindful of my hard earned being frittered away on something that isn't going to last, I thought that this time I would get the genuine article ... and not wanting to wait a month, I called David Silver Spares ... "No problem, we can get one for you, about a week, £26-50 please." As promised, in less than said week, a tiny little switch arrived ... all wrapped nicely in a genuine Honda wrapper .... Guess where it was made .......... Yep, you guessed right ...!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH....!!!!!!
