I'm seeing all these cool parts/bling for X-2's from Japan...... Do any USA Dealer build or carry these parts for us State-side junkies!!!!

I want:
1. Custom Billet Trim Set-up....purpose built.... not my home brew BMX Cable Set-up with wood screws :)
2. Custom Steering Cover parts....... someone has to make these locally. :pat:

I WANT I WANT!!!!

Anyone want to do a group purchase from Japan?

Anyone going to japan any time soon ?

Hook a brutha up.

Well how does the USD compare to the Japan Yen? Thats going to be a big factor on how expensive it is to import parts... The USD has a very low worth right now.

i was thinking of machining some of the trim setups, from what i have and the pics on the net i should be able to duplicate. but my fear is the demand i know a lot of people want these but if i do this will they sell?? if we can get a fairly large group together that wants them ill try to get this project rolling

let me have your imput

I'm in.... but also considering the above post about the exchange rate between the Yen and the Dollar.... you could sell these to Japan.... and get payment in YEN...... and make some mucho YEN :)

The pivot block can't be that hard to machine...... I might give it a go...... al is easy to machine, and the cable and lever are off the shelf items.

If you build it we'll buy it ;)

since a few chimmed in im going to start working on a model this weekend, i should be able to post some prototype pics soon. after i get a working model i should be able to ballpark a price. but dont worry guys im not trying to get rich, i know there not going to be $20 but i will try to keep the cost down to a min
so the final wont be to bad. materials shouldnt be to much its just depends on the nc work and machine time.

Click to expand...

this is exactly why i did not want to say anything till i was done with them. i don't want to make any promises there is to many people involved with the progect. i am going to the machine shop tonight or tomorrow to check on the progress. and as far as how $deep$ i am right now. just the aluminum, cables, levers, my time, and the shop time.

If someone has access to a CNC mill that is your best bet. That way only one program has to be written.

The cable and lever from a BMX shop should be no more than 35-40 max. The big dollars will be in the machine time, programming, and raw alinum cost. If you guys are running salt water, I recommend it gets a clear anodizing too.


My Japan wish list:

Trim Setup
Dash Cover
Rear Tray Step Things
Foot Holds
Keihin Throttle Drum

Hood - wishful thinking
Hull - wishful thinking
Big Bore P/V cylinder - day dreaming about lottery winnings

If you guys go on Motoine's website or Hot Products Japan, there a lot of cool little small parts I could add up to $500 or so that I want. That have the coolest things. Probably because they are not as easily obtained here.

Hey WAD, if you do have those trim pieces machined. You should make them work for both up or down! The Japanese ones are only up trim. If a little more though went into the design, you could make them work both ways.
