Found the brand name of the 298cc kit:
http://motorcube.cn/

The packaging is not on par with what has been shown for the 283, but that was to be expected.

Overall, it looks reasonably nice, but installation will have to wait until I figure out how to get the piston out of the cylinder. The piston is wrapped in bubble wrap and stuck in the cylinder, and it seems none too eager to be removed from the cylinder, and I am loathe to force it.

EDIT: after soaking overnight in Ballistol, the penetrating oil got through and did its job, and I was able to extract the piston from the cylinder. Now I just have to find time to strip the bike down and install the new toys.
