hmm showa does have a plant in ohio, that makes motorcycle shock absorbers. didn't see anything about honda ownership interests tho. I'll have to dig a little deeper on that one.

Are you sure about Showa being made in america?? Showa is owned by HONDA. All honda dirtbikes come with showa suspension. I read awhile back that the touring bikes had showa internals. My 2001 suzuki dirt bike has showa suspension. Funny thing is the dirtbike cost $5400 and has better showa internals than the 16k 2007 EGS I got.
If you think about it ... If all HD's are running showa internals than in a way All harleys are riding on HONDA suspension!!! Whoooaaaa Careful where you say that!!!

Showa makes fine suspension though. Honda uses them on their MotoGP bikes.

Exactly, My harley is the only thing that uses standard sizes. Had to restock the toolbox.

American cars have been metric for years. I wish all manufacturers would use entirely metric fasteners.
