Hey guys, i am in the process of buying a few things for the bike on ebay. in particular i need a new airfilter and seen as how its going to cost a bit to freight it i thought i would get a stage 1 jet kit while i am at it.

this is because in the near future i am going to do the exhaust system and i want to be prepared.

so i have found a company that will sell me both for my bike... is there anything i should be aware of?

thanks for the help

Havn't you just bought the darn thing!? Get used to it properly first so you notice the differences alot more lol

With ebay just check their feedback and if there is alot of bad feedback or very little (showing a new seller) I wouldn't touch it.

as long as you use paypal and the like you should be pretty good.

Me and wife have spend alot of money across ebay, rekitting the wife i think she has spend close to NZ$2000 on gear. All in all which is bloody good realy since if she brought the same stuff localy she would be looking more at $4000

got link to the dealer? have you made sure you looked around other dealers and on line stores to make sure you can't score a better deal thru someonelese, its always good emailing a few asking best prices, or saying you get it for this from someone else. Save you a bit of money

You should be fine mate as long as they have a good amount of positive feedback (which they do) and you use Paypal. I buy shit all the time off Ebay and have never once had a problem.

If its U.S Ebay
Make sure they use U.S.P.S Airmail parcel post (4 to 10 day delivery)....You will get shafted if anything out of the US is sent UPS. (fwiw)
