Having lived in Japan for several years and having taken Japanese Studies at university, Japan is one of the few things I know about pretty well. I also know a thing or two about the Japanese motorcycle and motorcycle accessories industry. Are you seriously suggesting that buying Japanese or Chinese made products is unethical on the basis that you would be supporting communism and that during manufacture, child labour and environmentally detrimental means were employed? Everybody is entitled to an opinion but it helps if some or any part of it is based on a fact. If you don't know what you're talking about, especially on a public forum and when it concerns culture and race, perhaps it is best if you keep those opinions to yourself.
not sure what i believe the most.........japanese parts better than chinese...or...simon has a friend !!!
I did retract the reference to Japan being communist and/or child labour through edit way before you posted but I apologise for my misconceptions. Regarding those two facts. In my opinion what I said about China still stands and if it isn't based on fact then it's still my opinion. I've spent a great deal of time on forums reading comments from people that don't know what they're talking about and if that applies to me in this occasion then C'est la vie. If you're going to contradict it also helps to provide some useful links to reinforce your specific points as I'll be happy to read them and change my point of view.
Having said all of that, ultimately, the quality of a product can not be determined simply by the country it was made in.
Wow... so simonm has gone one step further...Starts off by annoying some foccers and is now stepping up to an international audience... better not say anything bad about cagers or they'll be out to run you over more so than usual! As an aside, Japan make some of the best crafted and engineered parts in world (in my opinion) and have nothing to do with communism (that's just being racist...) Their engineering is almost as good as that of the Germans. As for standards; isn't the Nissan GTR built in Japan in hermetically sealed labs?

Chinese stuff tends to be cheaper also because they don't mind so much about copyright laws and as such R&D is much cheaper - buy one, take it down a machine shop and get them to copy it Also with Japanese/Western stuff you pay for the name a lot of the time which can bump up the price a lot. I plan on getting some of these levers when I pull my finger out, the long brake lever is a pain in the arse while filtering.
