Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, .... Geezesse! ... Yes I'm pro Americanesse! ... but ... read where half of the Harley Davidsonese crap comes from today ... I've got a few Kuryakyn pieces ( My wife especially like the adjustable passenger foot pegs ) and they've been on the scooter for 3 years and show NO SIGNS of rust nor do I/we have any problem with their operation .... just my .02 cents submitted via the WWW.com courtesy of my "who knows where in the hell it was made" HP computer!

Not all the stuff from asia is crap. Obviously asian products vary in quality with some of it actually being quite good.
Having said that, the majority of the Kury stuff seems overstyled and gaudy with function taking a back seat to style. M/C bling. Another poster said it best. "All show, no go"
Kuryakyn? Not on my Road King.

It is such a shame, I have always liked the Kuryakyn product line, and thought they were a stand up company that would stand behind the products. I guess with this day and age and the climate of the economy, companies would rather save a few dollars rather than keeping a long time customer like myself happy. I will stay away from their products, and find another brand to be loyal to.
just when i was going to put that same set up on mine what would be a good choice for the 2098 i cant find much out there for lights

I feel like their products are of minimal quality. I will no longer consider buying anything from them.
