Japan on vacation in August?

[CB4ME_imp]

I ordered some candy glory red air cleaner covers from Samurider, but Takashi said the manufactur, Force Design, and a lot of other companies basically shut down in August for vacation.

I thought I'd pass this on. Hopefully it won't impact any of your pending orders from Japan. But just in case be aware. I currently have a 4 week wait for an in-stock part.

DA*N! A whole month off?????
Thanks for the heads up on that! I guess their holiday will give me more time to shop.

I know that samurider will be closed from 8/11 till 8/18 but not a whole month nor Japan having a month holiday. Just ordered a whole bunch of stuff but good thing I am a very patient man.

Samurider works harder than most. At least that's the impression I get.

But you're probably right - it may not be a whole month. I was probably reading more into Takashi's response:

"I have received an answer from ForceDesign. They offer a candy glory red Air cleaner covers for your 2013 CB1100.
But most of Japanese company are closed for summer vacation middle of August.
Please allow 4weeks for delivery for now.
Best regards,

Takashi Takase"
