Cheap Handguards?

Hi all.

I've been spending a little too much on the bike lately. Need some handguards but looking to save a bit of money. I've got some plastic ones fitted at the moment but looking to upgrade to some with an aluminium backbone. Has anyone tried cheap eBay handguards like the ones below?

These are half the price of a set of Acerbis and don't really see the advantage of spending the extra.

There is no need for alu one. Louis.de, no name. Well tested.

Oh well, if the plastic ones are fine, that saves me a bit more money. It's also good to know that these Acerbis knock offs are up to the job should I decide to upgrade.

Cheers Guys!

The only bad parts of the Acerbis knock-offs is the quality of the expander, compared to the original. It tends to be a bit weaker. Tend to breake if you fall a lot. I have similar ones on my enduro bike.
