Hi Mike,
I think they are seriously over priced, also if you can see it you can see what`s going on,mind you if me shock goes rusty i may buy one before i sell it  , the shocktube only does a small part of a worrying area, I keep the area well coated with ACF50,seems to work well despite a poor hugger

I think you missed the point of the chart, Its to show WHO`s i.e. MAKERS , parts are good both in value and usage, if your part is unknown what good is that to the chart

java, that's some serious investment in extras my friend. I'm thinking a sophisticated alarm system as well as an industrial padlock and chain are in order ...
(worth looking at, if you find yourself in the UK - http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/index.asp?pg=11 )
For example, in UK, I'd (maybe we'd) expect to pay about £10 max for a power socket. I see that Kuryakyn is listed at $80 - just for a power point ! and where did you find to locate air-horns?
Any photos of your bike you can post to the site - including your trailer rig please?

Hi Mike

Yes Mike, I put some money back on my bike, but so far I'm happy with the CBF and planning to keep the bike, even as a second motorcycle for a while. Really expensive things as a motorcycle trailer I'll be able to attach it to another motorcycle if I want to do that in the future.
The Fiamm air horns I got them from a local hardware store. They cost me $29.99.
On the forum I have a few posting of my motorcycle and trailer. You can take a look of some of my pictures here:

DATA SO FAR
<see later posting for current data>

I've trimmed the pie chart to exclude tyres (consumables) and items for which there is only one hit (refer to the PDF file for single hit items).

NB: If your id appears in the table, it's because I'd like some more information from you reference your bike, the part manufacturer if possible and/or the rating you'd give the accessory.
Thanks.
Mike
