Source of parts?
« on: March 05, 2021, 10:30:07 AM »
 I've been digging around on the internet, Webike lists some manufacturers names such as Performance Motorcycle Creative "PMC" (big Kawasaki parts source) M-Tech Chukyo and possibly M-Tech which is re-organized from Mugen which was founded by Mr. Honda's son.
 I'm guessing PMC is at least partly the source of Yamiya's parts. 
 I'd like to follow our parts back a bit further.  Any other tips?

 I believe our exhausts were being made in Inodnesia, 30% of their manufacturing has closed and much of it isn't expected to re-open. This has been due to covid restrictions and related lack of raw materials. There was a volcano on Java that caused large evacuations. I didn't find more on the floods I previously heard mentioned.

Wow, If only I could read Japanese. That's an eye opener.

Those products for our bikes are really important.
A real pity if they stop produce all fantastic parts that rather recently have arrived on the market.
Beginning of bad times?

Domino effect of something rather minor can cause a bad loop difficult to come back out from

I'm happy to have a not much used Lotus Root 4-4 set waiting to be used again.

Sankei made the 77,78 exhaust and dohc exhaust.
Not sure who made 69 to 76 exhaust.
Company still exists - https://www.sankei-gk.co.jp/english/product/index.html
