Haha, everytime I tell someone I'm going to change the colour to carbon/black I always get the same response: "Why? I like the red!".
They just don't get it!... :rollingno: :winkwink:

@ Doogal: Oberon bar ends are definately on the list. :thumbsup:

@VmaxChuck: Glad to hear you havn't grown tired of it! Haha

I bought my Carbon Fiber from Yamaha Sports Plaza, they're great to work with.

I went through the checkout just to get a shipping estimate and it seems the only shipping method is UPS... :sad:
UPS shipping = $780 :dry:
Yamaha sports plaza may not be the golden ticket afterall. Anyway, I'll sort that out later, buying a new helmet later this week. :side:

You need to email them directly with what you wannt and specify you want USPS Priority Mail International shipping quote. This is equivalent to Australia Post service with tracking. UPS is a courrier service and they charge a left nut per service.

Have you also considered eBay. There is one seller in particular: crms77 that offers these items with very good shipping rates as they use USPS Priority $60 to Australia

Thanks a lot for the info VmaxOZ :thumbsup:

I was at the dealership today buying a new helmet and asked about some tyres only to be told the Bridgestone battleaxes are the only tire that will fit the vmax and he was quite adamant about it. Now I know the shinko 011 verge radials also fit the max but is there anything else that will fit the OEM wheels?

What he said. :thumbsup:
Metzler is the way to go in the 200 stock rear. Softer than the bridgestone and grip much better. Won't be sorry.

I just recently changed to a Metzler. I got 11,000kms out of the first set of stock tyres. The Metzler is a much better tyre it sticks so well to the road and when you enter some twisties that's when you can really tell the difference between the Bridgestone and Metzler...my dealer said to me always go , even though it will not last as long it will give you control and confidence! ;)
