Default KOYO Cam Bearings FROM FUEL MOTO?

I ordered the cam change kit and pushrods from Fuel Moto and got KOYO cam bearings. I wonder if that is what they are putting into their builds or what they are putting in their kits to make money? With all the hype about Torrington you figure one of the most reputable builders on the form would be selling them? I guess $59 for a cam change kit with all the gasket including valve cover isn't such a good deal when you have to go spend another $20 for cam bearings.

Thanks to everyone that responded with a positive answer I work 3/12S and banged out the above message in haste on my way out the door. My apology to Fuel Motto for the abrasive nature. Should have proof read it before posting. For the thin skinned post ****** who are offended please feel free to be offended. If you don't understand the English language or understand punctuation I can understand you being offended, the question marks are a form of research its called asking a question.

The Koyo bearings in the kit are full compliment and are fine.

Bought the same kit from Amazon it had the koyo bearings. I used the gaskets and orings but went got the SE cam bearings from my local HD dealer. The SE bearing have twice as many needle bearings as the koyo had spacers between each bearing. It may not be 2 cents deference between them but it was me.

FYI, Torrington was bought by Koyo sometime ago. The info I gleened awhile back was that the bearings were being made by same employees at the same factory.
