I took off my bags today to clean up the bike. I noticed a decal on the right side rear shock. It read "Showa".

That's strange to me...Showa is a suspension you can get for a Honda "car" sold by Mugen in Japan...

Anyone else notice that decal ?? Or is it a bad joke my freinds are playing???

No joke, guess who made the forks. <G>

Showa is actually owned by Honda, but they make suspension components of various qualities for all sorts of bikes.

Hmmmm...

Who'd a thunk...

I have the Showa stuff on my car, and when I saw that it blew me away...

It's a world economy....

40-45 percent of Harley's are made overseas. Even a knowledgable dealer will admit to this.

Nothing is made here (US) its all shipped and put together here!

The CV carb is Kawasaki. The Keihin the cv replaced is Honda. That's just the way it is.
