OK so i've gone through this entire thread 3 times now. Just love the mods shown here!!
So, it's safe to say that we've not found a distributor in North America for any great CB1100 accessories?
Mr T is the only source??

Yes, Captain. But Takashi is so flawless in his service and delivery, he might as well in NA.

Mr T is not the only one but a very good one. I've found parts and accessories at Webike.com for the CB1100 as well. They also offer free shipping and have sales on occasion. They pack and deliver extremely well too and are sometimes cheaper in price. I have used both of them.

Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Lol, yes. I just didn't want a newcomer thinking samurider was a brand name. The wording was a little confusing unless you've been here a while. Didn't mean to be over critical.

Keep an eye on the Japanese Yen/US dollar exchange rate too.
Right now 10000 yen = $85 which isn't too bad considering from mid summer to late October 10000 Yen = $95-$99
So the whitehouse CB1100 kit (black) currently costs 619,000 yen which is $5291.
In October 10000 yen = $99 so the same kit cost $6181.
In the last 10 years the exchange rate has ranged from $80 to $130 per 10,000 Yen.
FYI, Samurider prices do not include shipping.
I've ordered a couple of items from Mr T. and both times I've been 100% satisfied.

I've used webike several times as well as samurider. They do the same exact job, shipping is about the same time and quality. Webike seems a little cheaper in price and you can use PayPal without having to email back and forward about shipping prices and quotes and all that. I don't know how good customer service is with webike and I've heard good stuff about Mr T. They are both very good in my opinion.

I'm surprised some people thought that samurider was the only game in town.
