Only for Honda motorcycles Rich.

My biggest complaint on foreign car parts is the cost. Ouch!!! Another problem is finding qualified foreign car shops with qualified techs to do the work and properly. Again more $$$$. Oh well.

But one thing I do know for sure is there are plenty of salvaged parts at the junkyards for them since most are totaled out by the insurance company after an accident. I don't care what crash ratings they get on paper but in reality don't hold up well in most accidents.
