Hi
As anyone bought stuff from the Vintage speed guys over in Taiwan
http://www.vintagespeed.com.tw
Looking for feedback on shipping from there as well as quality?

I installed one of their exhausts onto Stutz's single cab. Beautiful piece of kit and easy to fit. It needed the mustache bar clearanced a bit, but other than that it really is nice.

I bought a nice repro gear knob from them for my bus and I like to drool over their exhaust catalogue.

As TonyZ said, I have one on my SC bay bus and it's really very well built and solid. I had mine ceramic coated but that was probably a bit of overkill. Not cheap after duties and shipping but when the rest of the bus has rusted into a pile of dust the exhaust will still be good for another hundred years.

Was the ceramic coating done locally or by Vintage speed?

Hold on now! Please don't mention your airhead cafe racer without posting a pic. That's just cruel!

Agreed! Maybe it's time for a thread in Other Marques about forum members' two-wheelers.
I have two airheads and I've been toying with the idea of making a cafe racer out of the R65 ...

No need for Eben to be involved. I'll start the thread as soon as I locate some pics of my bikes. Or someone else can start it if they have pics to post before me.
