--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so.. im going to china in a few weeks to check out some of the bike accessory factories, cos we are getting ripped here in nz..

tell me what you reckon is needed in nz.. that is either too expensive or hard to get,, this can range from bolts to full fairings to engine parts to wheels , to track accesories etc...anything to do with bikes..

so let the people speak...

This is asking for trouble don`t you know?? I`m over in Japan currently, and once again am shocked at the prices we are charged. How about a top of the line motogp replica Arai helmet? That`s about 50,000 yen, or roughly $600. Same with the very best Corsa Sidi boots, less than $600. $400 will get you a pair of Sidi Vertabra boots. Good luck with your trip bro.

Are you asking from a resale point of view Gixser?

How cheap can you get tyre warmers and paddock stands?

[cowpoos]

motostyle in auck gets alot of awesome parts at very good good prices.... he has had issues with farings though...

[GIXser]

currently im talking to suppliers about all sorts including tyre warmers..
a good brand of tyre warmer i will be able to sell here for about $350 nz for example

I'd like a bigger set of balls pls for my next trackday.

Dzus (sp) fasteners at a good price to replace my fairing screws would be great.
They are bloody expensive.

little motorbike shaped won tons.

I don't know if you can get these in China... but how about stunt cages... 12'o'clock bars etc (I'm not sure of the actual names but the stunters could help out with correct names).

From what I've seen if you wanna stunt and have good protection for your bike... you have to buy from the USA, and its damn expensive... I know for one when I get my bigger bike I'll want those...

(example of what I'm talking about, look at the stunt bars around the engine area of the bike and the 12oclock bar on the tail: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1217/monbikehl5.jpg)

Duct Tape - although I think it may only be a requirement on the Dover edition.

Seriously though, I'd be looking at the following areas personally:
High performance bits. Sprockets, chains. shocks, aftermarket cams - that kind sof thing.

Regularly replaced bits, fairings, mirrors, indicators. That what reliably breaks when one falls off a bike.

Bling - hey, some people just want bling

Accessories. Paddock stands, generators (to run the tyre warmers) etc. Anyone racing will know this list of goodies better than I. What are the things people occasionally say "Shit - I forgot the xxxxx". It's the "xxxxx" you need to source.

Anodized bolts, if you can buy them at 20c each so you make a decent profit for your trouble, then go nuts!

Then I'm definitely keen.
Anodized if possible but I wouldn't be too fussy at that price.

Cheers

Agreed,as long as the finish lasts.
Did I mention any quality after market bits for '06-'07 ZX10R's? :yes:
Bling at reasonable prices....heal guards,bar ends,screens, helmet visors,huggers,tank pads,carbon fibre bits...the list goes on and on mate.

Broad after market Headlight bulb range.

Kwaka 89 400H, headlight bulb genuine only $50.00 each.

Granted, you can buy an aftemarket bulb for $20.00 and modify the casing to fit, but why should you have to?

Parts for ZXR400's, specifically I want some sp Cams and Flat slide carbs and the suspension components for an sp spec'd ZXR400.....
Oh yeah, and I would like to be able to afford these parts without taking out a fifth mortgage.
