Oldrider, you are correct, the OEMs do have component failures despite all their testing. (Which us far mire midelnand application specific than AM supplurrs).
But they have a feedback loop called warranty and service which AM suppliers do not have.
They also have 100,000s of bikes operating in many different territories and duty cycles with varying rider skills. AM suppliers do not have this depth of knowledge.
This is my last post on this subject because it will just go on and on with no comparative data being offered. Just anecdotes.
Buy and fit what you want.
