[QUOTE="N4HHE, post: 1327232, member: 89143"] Ah yes, the old, "I saw it on the internet so it must be true!" Civilization is collapsing due to lazy non-thinking by those who refuse to consider the meanings of words they spout. OE is a subset of OEM but OE is what most mean when they say OEM. But OEM is almost as broad and nonspecific as saying "tires". OEM is who makes the component not what the component is or where it was used. OE is exactly the same replacement component as used as Original Equipment. Cupping is a suspension problem which requires very bad shock absorbers and/or shot ball joints. Feathering/scalloping is the result of tread block squirm when all points of the contact patch are not traveling at the same speed. This is unavoidable on motorcycles. Very many terms are very wrongly used interchangeably. That doesn't make it right. [/QUOTE]
