It doesn't help one bit. Are you saying marzocchi is made in China now? You don't work on softails? What do you work on?

Apparently you don't see where this is going. I'm asking if the Marzocchi's are Chinese made, it's very important to me, I am an American Tool & Die MAker and I have a side business as an American manufacturer in aniche market that is being invaded by cheap Chinese crap, so Chinese parts strike a very deep cord with me. I am very interested in inverted forks and would like a straight answer.
I am also asking what you work on? Not a hard question, you said you don't work on softails, what do you work on?

Well... Ill take a pic of my triple trees on the inverted front end with the OBVIOUS rake between the tubes and the neck. One of the required parts is a 2" longer brake line.... cause the front end is 2" longer due to a little more rake!
The Marcochhi front end is NOT made in China! lol! Ill tell Marcochhi you said that

I have inverted fork on my NT.
It handles better/ feels like "heavier" front.
it makes the handlebars closer and higherto you. thats make the ride more comftrable.
I havn't desided if it's look beter...my problem is that my bike is denim black and the forks are vivid black.
I think it doesn't "flow" with the"total look"of the bikeif you know whatI mean.
what do you think?

Thanks Serge 
I really like my bike. I tought on trading it with 2008NightRod special but I think it will be like a one night stand sex and after 2 month I will regret and want a "real" harley...
So...the night train will stay and will get more mods
This weekend I'm gonna slam the rear.

Howard,
Sorry to have sounded like "im telling on you". That wasnt my intention.
I think it true that variations of these forks (like the aformentioned Regency setup) are manufactured in China.
The "HD version 52mm" still carry the same quality as any other Marzocchi products such as their bicycle and motocross / roadrace pieces.

Quick Read:
The biggest bit of news regarding Marzocchi's 2008 range of forks is that they are no longer going to made in Italy. Much like the vast majority of their rivals, Marzocchi will be getting their stuff made in Taiwan. This tough decisionâŚ.. The development, design and testing will still be done in Italy and all aftermarket Marzocchi forks will be checked and set up in Italy. The "damping guts" (ETA, ATA circuits etc) will still be made in Italy, well until Marzocchi find somewhere that can make them as good as they can.
Please remember, I go to the factory & deal with them directly. We are a service center for Marzocchi as well as a trading partner. Please do not shoot the messenger.
When I post something, I make sure it is the truth and do not start rumors. I give precise and accurate information and I do not start arguments. That is a waste of my time. This is our business and I spend time trying to help other on this forum. I believe I am qualified to give correct information.

Ya know, the worst part is they are doing this just as most manufacturers are pulling stuff from Asian manufacturers because they are figuring out that people are sick to death of the crap coming from them. Oh well, I guess I'll keep looking for that front end that I want.
