kat seat

I buy stuff quite regularly on Yahoo Japan, however the bargains aren't quite what they used to be due to the spiralling costs of the postage & that's if you don't get collered by customs/parcelfarce.
Having said that you can still source parts cheaper & easier then here.
I've actually been looking into the possibility of getting a shipping container filled from Japan but think it's probs gonna be toooo pricey

Edzacchary Jez, prices are on the up over there too. I have found an irish sounding chap there who could be useful in this regard. I use google chrome and translate the web pages. Very useful. Interestingly decent kats over there seem to be going for more money than here, especially the 250/400s. although that is based on asking prices in the classifieds.

thats cos the japanese licencing systems make the 250 and 400 kats a more desirable prospect than anything bigger. which is precisely why suzuki and the other makers make so many mini sportsbikes in the 250 and 400 sizes.
