 Spring is here in CT & so is Christmas!
#1


So I have 3 boxes that just arrived from Mr. T and I want to give my first of several shout-outs to him. He is a 100% Standup Businessman and all around nice guy. I traded many emails with him and he answered each and every one of them quickly, thoroughly and politely. He went the extra step to make sure that I was fully comfortable making a $2000 +/- order with him, knowing I’m sending this money via Paypal. He kept me completely informed every step of the process and when the items were ready to ship they arrived so quickly I was amazed. Tracking couldn’t even keep up with the speed! If you are hesitant to do business in Japan let me say that there is zero percent risk working with Mr. T!!!!

The main box (1/3) has the Ryujin Hand Bent Exhaust in Black. I believe that this is the only set of these in the USA for the CB1100.

As you can see everything is packaged up really carefully and it all arrived in perfect condition.

So Big Deal Hedge – lets see the stuff!
Ok,Ok!!!

The other boxes contain my Kijima black grab bar and the Posh turn signals in Black with clear lenses.

While that stuff was coming in I ordered Pazzo racing levers in Black with Gold clickers, Oberon Touring foot pegs in Black, KN air filter, Oil Temperature gauge, and o2 elimination plug. ECU has been flashed by Don using MG's map and will arrive today.

I will add technical pictures tomorrow when it is slow here in the office. Thumbs Up

Looks good John, enjoyed our phone conversation and look forward to ridding with you in the near future.

It is finally spring today in our neck of the woods, just finished detailing my bike this morning and heading out for a nice ride this afternoon. Thumbs Up

WOW!!!

Make sure to tape the frame before you install the exhaust manifold So you don't scratch the frame... Thats a fine looking Exhaust John.

Also just a tip, Order extra turn signal bulbs from takashi. Mine burned up in less than 6 months of use.

WOW indeed!!
Is that like Christmas or what!!
Are you going to have fun or what! Thumbs Up

Just as an aside (since we're on this subject), yesterday I received a pair of vintage NOS fork covers (practically unobtainable) for my old 1967 BSA from Mitch Klempf in Minnesota.
They were also packed and wrapped very securely for the trip to Canada and arrived in perfect condition.
Needless to say I was thrilled to receive them - and to just be able to find them.
Modern bits and pieces can be replaced if they're damaged in transit, but vintage NOS often cannot.
I really appreciate it when a dealer takes the extra step to pack items well and I let Mitch know that I appreciated his care and concern.

Better yet order posh digital flasher unit and put in LEDs. I have one coming from Mr. T. I'll keep you all posted after it arrives.

Likewise Steve- we will definitely get together. Just saw the FedEx guy, remotely via my security cameras, deliver my Don Guhl ECU.

All cool stuff, congrats. Takashi is a great guy, never worry.

That tail light is a great looking piece.
Looking forward to more pictures.

Do us a favor and weigh the exhaust parts for future reference.
