These seemed made for Thai heat. has a removable liner for the cooler times/rain.

Fok, Went into a bike shop here in Auckland and of course they have really nice vented jackets for sale, $250 NZD...

Anyone want to buy a jacket with "Yellow Corn" printed on the back in big letters?

Also tried on the Shoei I was after, fit's like a glove, very nice.

Sorry, thats a lot of questions....

The Yoshimura with the silencer installed, (which is ultra simple), has a nice throaty roar, but not loud....without, huhu...i have without...had 2 laydowns because thai's pulled out in front of me, didn't know i was there..it's a safety issure with me...not worried about the loudness...beautiful pipe also, tons better than the 2 bros
which i have a brand new titanium 2 bros for sale, and 2 lowering kits also...hope that was enuf answer...oh, the o2, kaw in cm drilled the hole for it, they charged 500 baht to drill the hole, but only 200 baht to install...normal around here...sounds and runs great...enjoy, yep, am in cm, where are u?

You can get decent jackets up on the Burmese borer near your Thai gaff apparently.

How much ?

I've been trying to get one made up here in C Rai, nothing available to buy.

This is all I'm looking for, simple to make you would think.



Forgot nice looking bike, what is the top end ?

Thought I would share this.

Home in 3 weeks and eager to dust off the bike, only 700 k's on it! Been busy here in NZ buying all sorts of things for it. Got a nice pipe out of Perth for 400 AUD + 30 shipping. They put the mrs name on the address so may be lucky with the duties. they did offer to lower the declared value so that was nice. Do the math, it is a pretty cheap pipe and looks the biz. Made in Spain.



Also have a set of Renthal "street fighter" bars, 7/8 ths so they bolt into the original mounts but super strong "MX" type of bars, lower and wider than original which is what I wanted. Some gel grips with the alloy inserts similar to the rizoma setups you see here (60 NZD on trade me) and some nice bar end mirrors that flip up out the way for parking and lane splitting, also $60. Should look really nice. Some good prices down here too. Pics coming!
