Arata now have slip ons for the CBR1000RR. The retail for $1199
(and all the Arata products have just gone up too, so I can only do whatever I have left in stock at the NOW prices etc) . I'll have my first shipment of them here in about a week.
They are also releasing a CRF/YZF 4 stroke MotoX muffler too. Looks pretty trick. They should be here soon.

ouch that sounds like a hefty price. thats like $900 US. but they are good pipes in general.

You'll find that they'll be dearer in the U.S now too. Once Dan has them for sale, you'll get a better idea. Haha. I was selling the 600RR slip on for $899. But they will now be $1199 once I run out and have to order more. Not too expensive for here though. An Akra is around that while other aren't too far off it in the same Ti finish.

Why such a dramatic increase? I mean, 33 1/3%? Holy ****! Just curious whether or not you know the reason. Sorry about laughing in BDA's thread also. Nothing personal, just got into the flow of an otherwise humorous post. Hope you recover your $$ through insurance if the scumbags aren't caught first.

I guess thats reasonable. Gotta keep your profits up and there isn't much you can do when the manufacturer/supplier ups the price.

Bacchus, no probs, I've copped alot worse don't worry. Check out the ceracing site when you can, I give it and take it pretty well over there. hahaha

Price rise was due to Titanium costs in Japan apparently, but yeah, what can I do? They put the cost of them up, and so I have to put the selling price up too. Still, as I said, compared to other pipes and prices over here, and for what you are getting with the Arata gear, it ain't too bad at all.

[mickyboy]

jeez mate....what will the price be on the full system for the zx10r ?......I've been under a bit of " monetary stress " for a while so have been unable to afford the $$$ !

Bacchus, the U$ has fallen a lot v the yen. I know the A$ has been much stronger, but my guess is that Japanese firms think export prices in U$, work out a percentage, then apply it everywhere. Unlike German companies, who have moved over to global equivalent pricing (you'll find little difference in pre-tax prices of German autos worldwide).

Edit: Oh, and metals prices have risen sharply in the last year. Good for Australia, but bad for imported metal intensive goods.

[repsol_movistar]

damn dude, the yoshi costs like $800!! $400 is a heap of change, either way im easy, didnt have to pay for mine

[The Sook]

Yeah but it's stainless. The Arata is Titanium.
Plus, you get what you pay for, or so the saying goes.

ZX10 systems will be $2399. But I have 1 left that I can do at the old price for you mate.

Um.....forgive my forgetfulness dude....what was the old price ?

[The Sook]

You don't know? hahaha Sweet. $2300. hahaha Nah, they are $2150 currently. And I map the powercommander for you for free (saves you $250).

Oh yeah, and Repsol, the power difference between the 2 will more than make up for the price,. haha

I mapped a GSXR1000 last week. Made 157 with a Yosh slip on. Put an Arata system on and remapped it, made 168. Now yes, I know, it's a system, compared to a slip on, but god damn, 10h.p over STOCK is good, but 10 over a slip on? And a "Yosh on a GSXR" unbeatable combo slip on to boot? Hahahaha

[mickyboy]

Thanks mate....will delve into the bank account and see what can be done. For comparisons sake....what would the Micron cost ?

Also...I just saw Moose's SP1 for sale on the formula extreme site.....what's the story with it ?....any good ?

[Zeeman]

umm.. Sook? do you have any "Arata" logos (the ones on the pipe) I had to take mine off and I kinda lost it before I could rivet it back on. I just have 2 rivet holes in the side of the pipe ATM....



Z..

[The Sook]

Nah I haven't, but I can see if they'll send me some.

The Micron with a Ti muffler (for comparison's sake) would be $2398 RRP. I can do it better for you, but still, for the same if not more money, I'd go for the Arata every time.
