Good to see that someone is finally stocking them in Oz.  Price is still a bit high.....with the current exchange rate its still cheaper from overseas.

yeah, but your getting knowledge, support and a bloke who rides a 748R.....so I mean maybe the 20% rule I use applies? (I'f it's within 20% I support the local!)

Anodised stuff fades no matter what, I don't think I have ever heard anyone say there's has never faded.
I don't think the prices are that high, Motowheels have the E-Box for $1199 plus shipping.
I'd say that's pretty close to right on US money.
Especially considering most retailers here apply the usual 100% mark up.

I think 748R is a little vintage for this guy, bring it up to 2009 and you'll be on the money.

Fessing.....
You can't tell everyone about the bits you buy.
People have to find out in time.

When you don't fit them in a hurry and apply a little grease in the right places they work a treat.
If you fit them in a mad rush cause you are going out on a ride and want your new bling on you end up
calling yourself a knob while talking to yourself inside your helmet.
