Fine build the frame of your transition right here in BC, but that Fox 40 203mm fork on the front of the bike which you rely on to absorb those 40 foot hucks will always be built in taiwan.
I see your point but Made in "some asian coutry" was never known for built quality.

If Lamborghini and Ferrari were made in Taiwan, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, etc...I'm that would hurt their brand image. Same as Ducati, MV Agusta, etc.

Not saying Italians ever had good built quality but still...
