Howdy Gang!

In another post, I mentioned that I was living in Japan and had access to NSR parts via Yahoo Auction, Mercari, and local second hand shops.

Sometimes I come across parts for give away prices.

And as I do my weekly searches online, I came across this: an AliExpress MC21/MC28 crankshaft for Y94,000, around $620 U.S. https://tinyurl.com/4wnx9ns9

I've seen online where there are bootleg (fake) Honda parts (labels don't say Made in Japan, font is a little off, etc).

So my question is, how rampant are bootleg Honda parts? If Honda still sells a crank at Y300,000, how are folks selling them so cheap or have so many in supply? And, all of the boxes and packaging looks near identical from one seller to the next.
