I'll put a mini review once I get it.

I'm skeptical about Chinese stuff too. Decided whether my skepticism is worth anything, and there's one way to find out!
Good luck! It might not be as good as the official Kawasaki stuff, but in my case, the price difference is tremendous.
On the norwegian Kawasaki pages, a lime green seat cowl costs 2064 NOK.
2064 NOK equals about 2064 / 8.433 USD = 245 USD.

So, from the norwegian Kawasaki dealership such a part costs about 245 / 17.5 => 14 times as much. That made the choice easy for me, and I can live with the lower quality.

To make a comprison: Such a seat cowl costs about the same as the cheapest
plane roundtrips between Oslo and New York (2198 NOK) ( as can be seen here, today: http://www.flybilligst.com/index.php (upper right corner)).

I'll rather buy the cheap chinese part, and take a trip to New York for the "rest" of the money, for example.
