I still can't decide between the Xpro titan or the trailmaster TM31, my use will be 100% mud I don't intend to put a license plate on it and take it out on the road

I wonder if other chinese imported products suffer from the same lack of concern when it comes to packing and handling. I mean, when Walmart gets a big skid of chinese dvd players, do some have birthmarks?

Birthmarks? I guess you mean shipping damage?

You've got to be specific with vendors...

I am working on a return to AliExpress, and FINALLY got indication of a reimbursement. I had to be real clear with them ( for their translation to Chinese). Not sure if would understand what birthmarks are.

Isn't that another term for Patina?

Still no word from PSM/Xpro, have been regularly checking spam folder. I find it annoying that a company that has an ad on the forum acts this way. Looks like I am going to have to continue going down the road of finding "aftermarket" pieces to replace things. First item was the sticky starter switch.. The closest I could find a couple weeks ago was just a little wider/thicker.
Taiss 12v 7/8″ Universal Motorcycle Starter/Kill Push Button Switch ‎SW-02 ASIN B08FHMXVYW on amazon. This switch is available from several sources.

Got this installed a couple days ago.

I did end up swapping all wiring over from the stock switch as the provided harness had wrong contact/pins and some different color and extra wires, and I didn't want to splice. Of course, after I received it I found what looks like a couple options for the exact same style as oem Templar-x. Couldn't find them previously.

One looks like oem, including connector, for $8.99. Wish I would have found this one before I gutted and rewired the Taiss. It actually popped up when I was searching for something else.

GOOFIT Two-Function 7/8" Handlebar Switch Button ‎H054-048 ASIN B09JKG94B5

The other is for a Suron e-bike application that looks like it could be repurposed...... for $20.99
