The Aussie dollar is real strong at the moment but before you go shelling out your hard earned money on Ebay ect... just give your Aussie suppliers a call first, you may be very suprised, priced and orderd a YFZ450 CP piston, YFZ450 Stator and Full valve set for a TRX450R (what a suprise eh) off 3 different suppliers in Australia. ALL the components ordered were CHEAPER delivered to my workshop that what they can be purchased and delivered off Ebay. So if somethings wrong or warranty is needed its easier than sending back to the US.

Just my 2 cents worth, Clarkie

i had never brought outside the Aus untill the other week, my local bike shop quoted $390 for a wiesco piston kit and head/base gaskets for my bike, I ended up getting 2x cp piston kits and 2x head/base gaskets from the states for $500 on my door (one set for a mate), before i ordered them i went and seen local dealer to see if he could do any better, and he said id be mad not to get them, if there was only $50 or so bucks in it i would have stayed local, but for that price id be mad too
