What is the relationship between this official kyb site http://www.kyb.co.jp/english/products/category/02.html And this company (if there is a relationship?), it is quite difficult to tell by navigating the kyb official site. http://www.kybgenuineparts.com/index.php?id=50 The url implies something official with kyb The title of the page says "Technical Touch Racing" There is a product on that page called 'X-Trig', which seems to not have anything to do with kyb. Under the downloads link, it certainly looks official with a download for kyb parts, but that download really does not have the kyb corporate address, or any physical address, just the kybgenuineparts url on it. Under the kyp genuine parts link it shows this, but I am unclear how official they are: Based on the technical background and our growing experience we became : WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTOR OF KYB GENUINE SPARE PARTS I am a bit confused
Technical Touch is the company that distributes KYB spares and race spec parts. I called regarding some custom work I'm trying to develop with them and during the course of the conversation they mentioned having just received 70 lbs of shims from Japan - these are the true KYB guys. Rick and the rest of the guys are top-notch. They also distribute Hinson clutch components and XTrig clamps and preload rings. The clamps are eye-candy on a lot of GP bikes, notable for having a diagonal cut on the clamping ring.
