Hey guys im new here and have a quick question.

I have just bought a 04 1000rr ( yep still got wood!! ) and was wondering if anyone could give me some good links to exhaust suppliers?....Im very limited here in australia and would love to hear your feedback on where to get a slip on and what yours is like?.

Thanks

LUKE

 

Welcome to the board, mate Try posting in the new members section and you'll get a bit more traffic. I know Muz and a couple other dudes on here are from Ozland.

Congrats on the bike -- the 1kRR is a fuuuuuun bike!

 

Hey Luke, welcome,
since your from Melbourne im guessing you already tried
the numerous bike shops that line Elizabeth street?
if so buy MCN (motor cycle news) and scan it for relevant ads etc of cans
your looking for, or try mags/ net from around the world,
i live on the gold coast QLD and i got mine from the U.K [8D]

 

May i ask where you got yours from and how much it cost delivered?

 

I'm based in NZ and local stuff is scarce and expensive. I scored a Yoshimura RS5 can from a guy in the States for $275 US brand new, plus $60 US delivered. It took about 2 weeks to get here, but all up was around 50% of what I would pay here. Ditto the Power Commander that I added after.

 

You dont happen to still have the details of where you bought it do you?

 

Just did a quick check - the guy I bought from doesn't have any current listings. Just go to ebay.com and search under cbr1000rr yoshimura. Plenty to choose from around $US300. Also if you click on the Worldwide box on the left you get sellers in all other countries.

The only limit I have found is that lots of US sellers only ship to US, but even if they say this I sometimes ask them if they could do a deal - they seem to be wary of getting paid but offering to use Paypal seems to work if they know what it is, and most do. You don't need an account with Paypal, you can just send money.

One US seller I have read about is Fuelmoto - apparently they do quite good discounts if you order a muffler and Power Commander together. If you are going for the Yoshi RS5 I recommend the PCIII usb, it really sharpens up the bike with the tune from Anubis.

 

Hi Luke!
I'm moving from Sweden to Melbourne as a skilled migrant. Scares me to hear that Aussie the big motoring continent can be short on stores to buy motorcycle supplies. I am trying to find sites similar to this in Australia but have come up with zero so far. Do you have any tips? I am already browsing the tradingpost for a used CBR1000rr are there any other sites for used CBR's ?
