Default My new carbon exhaust

Not strictly SV related but thought I would post away anyway.

Ordered it from the states for £330 as UK retailer want a frankly rediculous £580 how they can justify that price difference I have no idea.

Yoshimura RS-5 in full carbon....sound lovely

Note the hole in the tarmac where I VERY nearly dropped a bike for the very first time lol, it was slowly going while i filled a bucket and caught it just in time lol, then broke a rather expensive floor tile (sorry Miss P )

I got it from a company called Universal Motorsport Inc, you can call the bloke and he is very helpful, I think he works in Yoshimura's US HQ....which is what answers the next question.....I'll find the number

Nope didnt get stung for import tax......there is still ways around it, not that I'm going to openly disclose on here mind.

If anyone want to know somewhere in the states to get one from or how to get one without being robbed blind by C&E let me know lol
