That's probably why the Japanese companies ship them to Third World countries. No standards at all... They take a busted up bike or car, make it functional...barely, and ship it out.
You see a LOT of old Mercedes on the roads all over S.E. Asia BUT... they have old Toyota engines inside of them! The fit is exact without any modification and Benz engines can be sold separately for a LOT more money!
