I've been eyeballing these Brightsides for ever and finally broke down to buying them since I will be tearing the bike apart to redo the exaust gaskets and installing the remaining heat shield / air dam. I ordered them (front and back) from Custom Dynamics and only to receive them both labeled "made in China". Is that a mistake or are they really outsourced to China? :banghead:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Brightsides made in China?

Now that you mentioned it--the thought of food coming from China is a bit scarry. The latest I heard was chicken. Can't wait until the fast food places start selling bites and tenders (parts) from there. I thought they had a problem with bird flu and had to dispose of millions of poultry type birds. I also believe they had an issue with baby food and dairy.
IMO--time to start reading labels and asking more questions. :dontknow:
You have no idea on the stories I have heard from friends over there. There are many things they will no longer eat or buy because of the quality concerns.

MADE IN CHINA BE WARE ! ! !
As some of you already know Made In Chin~a Products amounts to almost 90% of everything on our store shelves !!
As for Bright Sides ! The real thing to be looking for is where the individual LED light were made and is the product made for export !! My point is if the LED light is manufactured in chin~a for chin~ese use (lesser quality) it has a higher rate of failure than an export version.
Korean LED lights are of the top quality made around the world. If the Chin~ese manufacture purchased Korean made LED lights for export then I would not be concerned about the quality of the chin~ese made product.
Over the years there have been a number of food products in and from chin~a that have been nothing short of scary and poisonous for human consumption. Some examples are;
1. Rice made of plastic
2. Chickens that have died (chicken farms) several days before they were processed.
3. Milk that was (is still being) watered down by 25% then they added melamine powder to richen up the flavor and consistency. Melamine is use in plate manufacturing. There were a number of children that died from gull stones and kidney failure and countless numbers of other chindren and adlts that have serous illnesses from it.
I have purchased a quart of milk in a paper carton, opened it and in less than 48 hours it could not be poured from the container. Ask your friends in chin~a, they will agree.
Many of the rivers and streams feeding into the Pearl River Delta area of South East chin~a often run shiny black from chemicals being dumped into the water.
These are only a few of the multitude of existing health problems in chin~a.

Don't Bet on it!
I have gone shopping at sports centers in Chin~a and one of my best finds was a pair of 501 Levi Blue Jeans advertised "Made In USA" $100.00!! All the tags and patches were authentic looking but upon closer inspection there was no inside ink stamps on the pockets and they had zipper up not buttons flies.
Let me think..... Oh Ya Made in Chin~a

There was the Chinese dry wall issue a few years ago. That's still in the court system. Kris recently went to the base commissary for groceries. She picked up a package of talapia and saw that it was a product of China. She put it back. Now for the real kicker, the new Lockheed F35 Fighter has a magnet used in the radar system that is manufactured in... you guessed it, China.

There has recently been a problem with DOG Treats made in China killing dogs in this country. It took at least a year after a woman had a petition going around for this country to pull them off the market. Most were made from chicken.

I purchased some LED strips last year for my wife's Spyder. By September some of the leds were no longer working. Yep, that crap was made in China. I just bought some more LED strips on ebay from a company that makes them in the US. You can tell the different quality right away. These new ones are more pliable and the 3M tape sticks a lot better. The wires that go to the strip are thicker. Also, the price was not much more. For now on, if I can find it made in Canada or the US I will buy it and pay more. It is cheaper in the long run.
