Who wants a set of Yamiya Lotus Roots? Extras made-here's your chance!

[sandcastNorway]

Hello to everyone!
Sorry, but I bought a set last year for my bike together with Riccardo and Bo and other so I don't need an additional set.

Also, my old id was sancastnorway, but I can not log in with that username anymore. I have made a new one with id: sandcastNorway. This time with the missing d.

just so WE are all clear..........  250000000JPY (yen) =  $2600 + shipping, this price was then........

[Steve Swan]

We have 9 commited sets of Lotus Roots as follows -

1 set, Mark Buettner, USA
1 set, Wayne Telford, Can
1 set, Steve Swan, USA
1 set, Luis Gallur, Aus
1 set, Rick Hahn, Aus
1 set, Conrad Ledig, USA
2 sets, Charles New, Aus
1 set, Vince Ciotti, USA

It would be ideal if we could get greater than 10 sets before we approach Yamiya.

I will provide another update in the next few days.

Luis has committed to 2 sets now to put us at 10.  That was our goal but more will only help the cause.  This may be your last chance for a long while (if ever) to get a set.

Mark / Steve,
Just thinking out loud,

I'm I going to need longer rear foot peg bolts for these exhaust pipes? Did I read that the rear mount is wider than the NO NO pipes? Got any Ideas?

[Steve Swan]

The Yamiya Lotus Roots combined distance of both holes is same as later exhaust, so there will be no problem.

I've got my email from Yamiya today fro the Lotus Root Exhaust System. I like to thank Steve and Mark for all their hard work in facilitating this purchase.
Best regards,

As you can see, we were succesful in getting Yamiya to make Lotus Roots!  We committed to 17 sets and everyone should already have theirs or will soon.  The good news is that Yamiya made an extra ten sets!  It is very likely that they won't make any more.  If you want a set, here's your chance.  This is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  They cost us 250,000 JPY and the shipping to the USA was 26,250 JPY (approx. 3228 USD total at today's rates).  I don't know if those prices will be the same and the shipping elsewhere will probably vary.  If you want a set (or more) contact Katsuya Oe at order@yamiya750.com.  Be patient, it may take a day or two for a reply.  By the way, they are beautiful!! 

Many, many thanks to Steve Swan for handling the majority of the communication with Yamiya.  Without his efforts, this probably wouldn't have been possible.
