here's a link to the m8 forum talking about it and another screenshot. If I remember correctly the wheels used to be made in Australia and moved to China a few years ago.

the impeller, and the enforcer wheels are made in Australia if I’m not mistaken.

I have a shop, do my own work. I've changed many Harley tires for friends and have yet to run across one that said Made in China. If some are indeed outsourced to China, they would not be on my bike...

This unfortunately is true for the cast wheels, one of the reasons spoked wheels are not the norm for the moco anymore.

I went into market place and ebay and started zooming in on wheels. Sure enough, I can see it on the Prodigy wheel, I don’t see it on anything older than the enforcers…couldn’t find a clear enough picture of the one in between.

I dont know about the wheels they sell - but the forward controls are pretty nice, had a set of acutronix on a heritage & just old, chrome flaking & the shifter where it goes over the shift splines stripped out - I mean they were a good 15+ years old so got moneys worth out of them, Acutronix & most companies change their designs & getting a replacement part is not gonna happen, did some searching & found Tarazon, figured what the hell........... bought em, installed them & they are every bit just as good as the Acutronix were, only thing was they came in Black or Aluminum, got the Aluminum & with a lil Mothers they shine pretty nice.

I saw their wheels & I am not sure about them, if they were powder coated maybe, but im thinking they`re spray painted? plus they really dont have any reviews on them yet.

Yeah…that’s the kind of stuff I’m trying to find out. It would be nice if the ad was a bit more clear.

Bump.

I really like the black 16" fat spoke wheels that would fit a 48 nicely. I know that made-in-China can mean everything from fragile crap to surprisingly well built.

Does anyone have any first hand experience with the Tarazon wheels?

Where do you think the electronics on your bike and in your car are manufactured?
I’m trying to see if anyone has used them and has practical experience with them. Not looking for an opinion based on reading a description and nothing else.
Taiwan isn’t communist china.
