I think I have a spare one among my bits and pieces. I would be prepared to sell it for around $1000.

Is that made out of a rubber-band?

It's rarely the powerband - usually the flux capacitor needs aligning and a new coat of emery sparks.

I think it would look good in Tartan. Anyone selling tartan paint?

I have a spare powerband, it's made of unobtanium.

Idiots!
Just go to REPCO or Supercheap and buy some of that blue High Compression powder

I thought it may have been the flux capacitor that needed aligning.

I wonder what color powerband it has at the moment

I think they may have fitted the red one, because they are faster... BUT everybody knows the Red ones are for Hondas and Yamahas actually use the Blue one... Suzuki, yellow, and Kawasaki Green...
Easy mistake to make, the bike being red and all....

For a Grand, good buying. I have a few powerbands hanging up in my shed to get it running properly

This one looks like it will fit, I think you might just have found a bargain!

Thats the yellow one though. We need to find a blue one as it is a yamaha powerband. Unless they are interchangable but i dont think they are.

Hmm well I have these red 'go faster' ones but like they say in the description they are VERY HEAVY, next year the carbon fibre ones will be coming out to reduce the overall weight.

I'm checking with my suppliers re: the blue ones now..

Just got word back regarding the blue ones, these should do the job and result in much better performance, a fuel economy boost and better low speed stability to boot!
