many on here dont like Hepolite, probably not made in the UK.
that said, Ive fitted Hepolite in many British bikes, last one was a T100 next one the A50 and no problems.

should you have deeper pockets than me there are more options available, American are better but Australian leave a lot to be desired.
the Hepolite of today are as is the modern way no longer made by the original Hepolite company, BUT as needs must, widely avaiilable from British bike shops as its what is available.
As long as the bore is bored and honed to the correct size and assembled correctly then there should be no problem.
