sup guys my friend told me that mugen got sued and they are now out of business?! Can anyone verify this? I was really looking forward to get that slick Mugen spoiler...ebay doesn't have it either. Anyone interested in selling theirs? My color is Anthracite Metallic but any color will do.

P.S. I just debadged my trunk today and I just have the center "A" left. I was wondering if the "A" can be removed also. Here is a pic of a nighthawk black tls with the center "A" off. Did he use bondo? Does anyone know if the "A" is drilled on or just glued?

Mugen's president (Honda's founders son) got charged with tax evasion

 

I tried 3 times tonite to go to Kingmotorsports . c o m, with no luck. So maybe they're shut down. I did get into the MUGEN website, but since I can't read Kanji I didn't have much reason to stick around. I too would like a spoiler, oil cap, radiator cap, and an exhaust too.

 

there is bunch of stuff try google i am sure you will find some if not all of the parts you are looking for.

 

i got into kingmotorsports.com with no problem...

 

SAITAMA -- The eldest son of the late Soichiro Honda, the founder of Honda Motor Co. Ltd., was arrested Tuesday over massive tax evasion of an engine manufacturer he runs, officials said.

Hirotoshi Honda's company, Mugen Co., in Asaka, Saitama Prefecture, is suspected of evading the payment of about 1 billion yen in corporate tax by failing to properly declare more than 3 billion yen income for a three-year period until October 2000.

Honda, 61, and Norio Hirokawa, a former auditor to Mugen, played a leading role in the company's tax evasions, said crime busters of the Saitama District Public Prosecutors Office when they arrested the two.

Honda and Hirokawa cooked the company's ledgers with the fictitious cost of materials bought in dealings with a leasing company also run by the Mugen president.

Investigators suspect that Honda and his firm spent the funds on land in Tokyo's Minato-ku.

Mugen technology is known worldwide through the development of engines that won several Formula-1 events.

Honda Motor Co. formerly owned a 40 percent interest in Mugen, but currently no formal relationship exists between the two companies. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, July 1, 2003)
