    Having seen most of the Blades on the site it would seem that most bikes inc mine have the same goodies ie Yoshi can /cowl/ Levers ect are we missing out on the Goodies from across the water? I want to be different with a bit of top notch Bling.Any ideas?

    They don't get any parts that we don't get here really.
    What sort of "bling" are you after?

    How about an extended swingarm?
    Or some spiky windscreen bolts?
    ...j/k :):):)

    What is the deal with those extended swing arms ? they look stupid. Are these yanks just drag strip riders ? is there any real benefit ?

    Hehe. Well, technically they're for drag racing, give more stability in a straight line and stop a powerful bike from flipping.
    I think some of them just fit them because they are "cool" though ;)

    I know a guy with a stretched 'Busa. He can never burn you off because it takes him so long to go by you can roll down your window, flick your fag end out, roll it back up, drop 2 cogs and still beat him to the draw.

    I keep an eye on what available on ebay .com but to be fair its not that different. My brother purchased a set of Yoshi cans for his R1 from the US but that was a price issue.

    If you do find anything different it will be in the size, Bigger and Louder exausts cans? Lol

    Biggest thing I've seen is that they seem to get things a bit cheaper, so what is expensive for us, you could buy for less out there. Price a set of Ohlins R&T forks here and compare them with what the Yanks pay. It's usually a good bit cheaper too.

    I think the Yanks get quite a bit of their 'bling' from Japan.

    Ladybird Parts seemed to be a fav

    If anyone is interested in very nice Japanese CBR parts, look up Simon Kobe on ebay.
