Yamiya K0 Stanchions
« on: November 13, 2014, 08:22:29 AM »
Does anyone know if Yamiya CB750K0 fork stanchions are manufactured in Japan? Has anyone fitted them to a K0 and if so did you have any issues with the fit. I ask this as UKPete bought repro ones from David Silver (made in Italy) and had issues fitting them, so I am thinking of buying mine from Yamiya via Saisei-Europe. (prices from both suppliers are comparable).

I was looking at the painted ones at Z1parts.net. for my diecast. Might be better than painting my chrome K2's. No reviews posted on their site. At $85 per pair that's not bad. I'd spend that on gas going to the chrome shop and having them stripped.

Got this back from Yamiya in Japan.

Dear honda_four_rider,

It is not made in Italy. Thanks.
