I actually bought it from West Coast Powersports in North Clearwater. It was then air freighted to me here in South Korea. I know this sounds a bit crazy but a liter bike here will cost around $16k! Also if I were to buy a bike here it would be Japanese spec, meaning it couldn't be imported to the US when I return.

The bottom picture is a shot of the shift rod support brace. It basically takes most of the play out of the shift assembly as the shift rod has a good bit of movement where it enters the transmission. With the support installed on the stock rearsets it made a very noticeable difference while shifting. With the support and the Sato rearsets installed it shifts like nothing I've ever rode before! I would say for the price ($70.00) its definately a good mod.
