All:
Triumph once had Acerbis Milano make their panniers but switched to making
them
"in house" back in '00.
Our Triumphs have LOTS of parts made by other sources: Body panels/parts
are
still mostly made by Acerbis Milano, Italy. Paint is by Standox, Germany.
EFI is
by Sagem, a Brit/French consortium. Forward and after shocks are by Showa
(Japan). Carbs are Keihin (Japan). Wheels are Brembo (Italian). Switchgear
on
handlebars and turn signals (indicators), ignition switch are also
Japanese.
Generally speaking, the average Triumph is 19% other than British made.
A safe Memorial Day week-end to all who celebrate,
