Exhausts..

[boomer]

I just ordered a slip on ali Yoshi rs-5 for the 600rr from e-bay at a cost of $550. Now locally the shops want $1440 for one... whats with that!!!!

i know exchange rates are good at the minute but thats just day light fekin robbery!!!

Maybe its time to start an importing business

[froggyfrenchman]

Its pretty bad alright. If anyone started a low price aftermarket and custom parts store here in nz, they would get heaps of support!

[The Stranger]

Who does import Yoshi exhausts?
Wouldn't mind pricing up a 4 into 1 system.

[boomer]

There's a x(?)racer down south somewhere that imports 'em; i'll do a search in a mo, he also does tuning and performance bits.

I don't think other than that anyone in NZ actually imports 'em or is an authorised dealer; I priced up at AmPs and Colemans. I think any of teh shops can order you one in from Ozzie if you're prepared to go without vaseline

The guys who work in the stores are better equipped to tell you why they hike their prices up higher than a hookers skirt on Fri night. But it is a bloody pity they are so expensive. If they lower prices, they are going to get more retail.

So is that NZ$550 bucks or US$? If NZ you got a good deal there boomer. I saw a Yoshi cannister for my Blade on eBay the other day but overcame the temptation to buy. :confused:

$299.95 USD exhaust
$70.00 USD shippin

I've been tempted since i bought the bike and the mrs says she'll pay for it for ma b'day :not:

Do it Zed.. U know ya wanna.. although u already have an aftermarket by the looks of it :headbang:

Do it Zed.. U know ya wanna.. although u already have an aftermarket by the looks of it :headbang:Nah my current pipe is stock for the 954, but IMO it is quite stylish and made of titanium so it's as light as. Don't think i'll change it for now.

Enjoy the Yoshi! [smilie=9,10,17]

[boomer]

Well, 7:30 monday morning i get a ring on the doorbell; she'd turned up; well packaged and looking nice and shiney; accompanied by fitting instructions. 3 hours later shes in and on; only snag was a cross thread on the U-bracket holding the slip-on on, from the original pipe and a couple of screws left over.. i'll be buggered if i can see where they've come from... :crazy:

A trip to Amps gets me a replacement U bracket - thanks Greg! u da man :D All i need now is a fender eliminator to get rid of the spade at the rear and we're away; She's sounding nice too, no longer sounds like a sewing machine and i'm pretty sure i can feel the xtra horses, specially as i pull away :clap:

So i'm a happy man, well i was until Qkchk thought it amusing to see a Honda with a Yoshi on it :shifty: and i had the privilage of riding 2 v-twins back to back!!!

Top Stuff and a good price too, even managed to save myself teh 2-3hours labour for fitting... *proud of myself*

OK guys, set up a business, rent premises, employ staff, try to get a return on your investment, try to earn more than you would working for a boss, import the gear, pay freight, etc, etc, etc.
Good luck.

Why? when you can buy from E-Bay :nya:

I know you guys do a great job and no disrespect Lou but the consumer comes first in my book, a 300% mark up ontop of the product markup is a tad fekin steep in anyones language

[boomer]

We're inherantly a lazy breed and some of us like to get a deal here and there; my money don't come cheap ;)

Do you really think dealers wouldn't charge less and gain a march on the competition if they could?
I wonder if you could get your bike serviced on ebay?:nya: back

Yeah, comes with instructions, the slip on is the end can and the pipe down to the joint at the bottom of the bike, use the existing clamp to put in place; Everything needed, except some goo to put between the pipe joins

Oooh my next door neighbour just bought an 05 model...I will let him know as it is still bog standard :ride:

[marty]

i've had nothing but great service from ebay powersellers. i bought a titanium high end watch from ebay 8 months ago. at michael hill and pascoes - $1500, and a 3-5 week delivery. on ebay, NZ$375, on my doorstep in 6 days from order. when that watch was stolen in my pre xmas burg, i e-mailed the powerseller and told them my sob story. they sold me another one, but didn't charge me freight, and it arrived 6 days later - over xmas too! i'm looking at those stainless yoshi's for the 'busa with interest.....just remember that you will probably get charged GST as they are over NZ$400 landed.
