I was looking at some rearsets the other day and I mentioned KSRC in my email to one of the suppliers, I received a reply from the seller saying they are looking for distributors.
They have offered discounts for group buys of 5, 10, 15 or more... but we also have to buy 10 sets of accessories (sliders, bar ends etc)...
Once the first large order is placed we can then get the discounts on small orders...
Theres web site is here

There ebay store is here
http://stores.ebay.com/Club517Superbike
They only have rearsets for later model Kwakas (and other brands), and the group buy price for them is about $170 to $180 US per set. Down to about $150 to $170 US for orders of 10 or more....
Anyway, just putting this out there to see if theres any interest..
I fixed my rearsets myself so I don't really need any now..

these are the guys I ordered off earlier in the week. I paid $250 for a 'buy it now' price (no patience) and still that is a bloody good price compared to the $495 WET4U quoted me at E.C. last week.

I got a set of *exactly* the same rearsets as the W4U numbers - direct from Thailand - $220 landed in my post box. Hoffy also got a set for his barge a few weeks later, when the Aussie dollar was worth a bit more, and it was about $180 landed ??? But - W4U is not the most expensive

- Sato rearsets ( again, exactly the same style) charge over $600 for theirs !!!!
Adjustable rearsets are a great addition to any sportsbike - if anyone here has been considering the upgrade, this group buy sounds like the perfect opportunity..........

How would an international group buy work. I thought that if items were shipped into the country with a value greater than $1000 then there is some tax to pay at customs (?)

easy - do 2 or 3 transactions at $800 a piece. No customs duty.

would the 98-02 rearsets fit the 96 zx9???

but i know alot of teh gixxer bits are interchangable over the years.

Well theres interest from 5 on the rearsets.
We may have to buy some of the accessories too, like bar ends, fork sliders etc..?
AS Gos said, if its over $1000 we'll get it shipped in 2 lots.. with 5 sets it should be OK.
Now... As I don't really need anything... who wants to look after this.? (collecting $, paying and shipping to them)
We need a KSRC purchasing officer.
Those interested please post up your bike and what you want and we'll make a list and send it of for pricing..
