Just doing some quick market research, what are you guys looking to buy for your bikes? Exhausts, Power Commanders, Lighting (currently hooking up a set of HID's for the CBR - will post review when I get them), brake discs, brembo braking components, or something else?
Most things I can get a a pretty good price, so for future specials it would be really helpful for me to know what you guys are after - and helpful for you aswell.
Thanks inadvance for the feedback.

Mainly suspension 'bits'. Progressive springs for the front forks, aftermarket shock for the rear, and perhaps shorter tie bars to raise ride height.

Jesus mate! With the amount of people selling cheap leathers on here, there's no excuse for that!

What's sort of on my shopping list at the moment is a "new" motorsickle, early days yet but I don't do anything in a hurry. Sometimes there is no prize for coming first. Sorry it's Friday and my dearly beloved and I are off to our fine capital city for a grown-up weekend tomorrow. Now where was I ? That's right motorsickle buying - took a slightly extended lunch hour and visited three of our bike shops. Talk about service ( or lack of it )! Two of the places completely ignored me including the one that specialises in those big betassled 'merican pigs ( sorry hogs ) and I would have thought I was their target market being a mid life crisis guy in the IT industry. The third one couldn't have been more helpful and friendly without going over the top. Might have to buy a Suzuki :yes:

aching for rear can slip on (from the collector back), PC USBIII, K&N airfilter and steering damper..
want it sooner than I have to mula for, but it's always on the list.. bit by bit
May be a rear shock too, but that's heaps, and I don't have that..

Cheers for the feedback all, due to sizing I don't do leathers - also sounds like heaps of people do that already, tires are also something I don't do - not quite ready to start shipping in containers, some of the items you guys are after I can do, definitely the power commanders, rear shocks can be reasonable (in the CBR1000RR example, around a thousand less than retail here), while I haven't dealt in rearsets yet I can see some savings can be had by bringing them in.
What I would be really keen on is to organise some group buys, say 4 guys want PCIIIUSB's, then I can really start to get some good prices - especially with shipping.
So if you've got the money and are ready to purchase some of this stuff, give me a pm and I'll see what I can do.
Cheers.

pah. who needs brakes..? wuss
get me a turbo while you're at it please..
ooooooo me! me!! pick me!!! I want a PC.. :eek:
not so fussed about rear sets, more bling than anything.. I only want stuff that makes me go faster at the moment, not what makes me look like I go faster. I can do that with stripes

dunno.. they're more than I have at the moment. eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kawasaki-ZX6R-636-Power-Commander-III-USB-Free-Mapping_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35597QQitemZ457 6707978QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW) in the states have them really quite cheap, so I was thinking about getting one from there.. but it's the hassle etc

Yeah, the guys I deal with are registered dealers, thus they have reputations to protect. And these guys are big players with alot to lose. With ebay, I wonder about warranties etc, they've made their money and are gone. Not all, of course, but you only need to be stung once.

Do we have to have the CHEAP leather debate again. You do know that nurses have to rub gravel out of your skin with a plastic brush, if you've been unfortunate enough to slide down the road on your bare arse because your leathers fell apart 50 feet back.
