New Zealand's a little country, and most of the people doing interesting things with my bike seem to be overseas. A good chunk of them seem to speak another language.
I was reading this site: http://machinimal.com/m_cb/cb.htm , and somewhere in it it shows this pic of a CB250RS with a Keihin CR attached, and then a pic of one in a shop somewhere. I kept that in mind.
Browsing Okshon, which is an English front-end to Yahoo Auctions Japan, and amongst the <10,000km CB250RSs for $NZ1200, I spied this: http://www.okshon.com/v.cgi?YYurl=ht...ion/c148461633
It seems to be a Keihin CR carb (very bloody good carb, from all I've read), jetted and set up for a CB250RS. Who would've thought? The old CB would really crack along with one of those. ¥18,000, plus Okshon's commission (it works out to just under $US200). Now I can't really afford $US200, but I would be willing to save up for it if it is a good idea. So I want to ask about this...
My Japanese is shithouse. There was a girl once, but she pissed off back to Japan and only calls me when she's drunk and lonely. Current girlfriend speaks Cantonese, so no use. Is this really a carb set up and all ready to go for a CB250RS? Google translate gives me the usual gibberish. Brian? You bored and want to help me out?
The other thing is, who has used Okshon and had good results? I'm rather cautious about it for some reason. Shipping charges and most other things seem to be in $US, although there are a number of quotes from satisfied customers in France and all over the place, but that means bollocks-all as we all know.
If this Okshon thing is cool, many of us with old Jappers might be quite pleased, they have an incredible range of stuff in amazing nick for very little money.
