Default Replacement CV Carb

I'm tired of rebuilding this stock CV, so I'm going to replace it. I found this one on Amazon, and on eBay, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them.

With the bad reviews why would you even consider it? I'd think you'd be better off taking it to a pro or doing an exchange with a reputable rebuilder. If thats not a option replace it with another type of carb.

I just replaced saddlebag hardware on my buddies bike, the kit was aftermarket and it was crap, I spend more time cleaning up the pieces so they could be used than I spent installing the kit. If I see more than 1 or 2 bad reviews I steer away.

Chinese knockoff of the original? No thanks.

What's going on with yours that you have to keep rebuilding it?

Backfiring, leaks, runs like crap.

The tank is clean, filter is new, just put on a Hi-4 Ignition, good compression.

Is the E carb a direct replacement?

Yes if you get the entire package. I Know it looks pricey but look at everything you get... It's hard to match the qaulity and performance...

It looks great, but 500 USD just isn't in the budget right now.
