To assume that because they sell them means they must be good is not wise. What it tells me is they are are selling those because they buy them cheaper and they make more profit on them.

China and Taiwan are NOT the same.

Made in china is crap.

Made in Taiwan is actually pretty good. Many tools are made in Taiwan. Lots of cb750 parts are too.

Taiwan build quality has stricter regulations. They have been at it longer than china.

Made in Taiwan should give you a warm feeling.

As i thought,i was sure that parts sold from those guys must be of good quality or they would not sell them.I remember when i built my old harley allmost all the parts i got were made in Taiwan,just the way it goes.
