  I have seen a Taiwan Tedds cyl shatter like glass on a friends knuck,,it was low speed cruisin...after that mess I had ordered in 3 sets of Mike Brown cylinders for friends ..this was bout 4 yrs ago and cost was $800.00 for the pair..I've never had a complaint bout quality...I guess they're tooling up panhead stuff as well.

They are $550 a pair and apparently they are going to release a repo knuckle set of heads..... interesting. Good site for the diff. in ductile iron and what they use.

I also got a set of MB knuckle cylinders and they look and finished well.  Still not installed yet but they were $550 as mentioned  I've heard about the heads for a long time but nothings materialized yet.  Just who is making them for v-twin and other aftermarket guys?

I talked to someone that talked to MIke Brown a week or so ago, and he is tooling up to make some more knuck cylinders.  Apparently he is gonna make only so many cyls.  Might not hurt to call him and ask him if its true and maybe get your order in.

That might be a good idea.  From what I remember he would run them in good size batches and then sell them off.  Seems there's still demand so why not make more.
