2000400EX

Ok fella's, here's the low down....
I needed new rear axle bearings for my '00 400EX, so I figured I'd replace the carrier with one that is grease-able. So after some research, I decided I wanted the one made by RAD Manufacturing. Then I searched Ebay and found this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4630053749&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:MT:11) one. Says it's made by RAD, but I never heard the "magnum" part before on RAD's website. So I decided to get it any way. Well I get it in the mail today and after looking it over, I'm wondering if this is just a "knock-off" of RAD's carrier or is it RAD's carrier? If it is a "knock-off", will it perform as good? Have any of you purchased this one before? This is a new area for me....I've never dealt with the rear axle bearings or carrier's before.
Here's some pics of it....let me know if I got "taken" on this or not...:(
