It looks like they might be making parts for more than just Suzuki and Yamaha.
It makes sense I suppose. Having a machine to make every single part would cost a fortune so they outsource a lot of it. Does beg the question though, what happens when a factory goes down, like so many did back with the fukushima tsunami. If you need a gazillion parts from all over the planet, and you can't get one, then the bikes just won't get finished.
