To me, that means:  Item lost - too bad
                              Item broken - too bad
                              Item not what you wanted - too bad


Thats just too bad :(

My currency converter says that JPY 56,150 is $634.00.  


Funny how 56,000 Yen seems like a LOT less money than $634

this belly pan looks fantastic and i am not a fan of bellypans in general on the monster but...

over $600 is ridiculous in my opinion.

You're right, of course. But, Alexandre, how much do Monster owners pay for a full Termignoni exhaust system installed? And, in coming days, what good is your cash going to be anyway with the Treasury printing presses running 24/7? I'ts just money, and we're dealing with . . . motorcycle lust!

Last time I tried to do a bank transfer from my University's purchasing dept. to good ole Europe it was like it may as well have been a heart transplant.  I don't see why it should be so complicated.

I am not so much a fan of the belly pans either, but I kinda like that one.

My Termi kit was $2150 US dollars installed at the time of bike purchase.  Pretty good price in my book.

Nice lookin' RS too by the way.  [thumbsup]

I placed an email order and then I received an invoice from Riding House.  I called my bank and did a wire transfer to the Japanese bank two days before Christmas. Riding House acknowledged their bank's receipt of my transferred funds and then gave me a shipping and tracking number. That was on the day after Christmas. I received the box from Riding House today, January 2nd. The belly pan looks great and mounted easily.

I like it. Now my bike looks just like Geoff's in his photo above. Like the Termignoni full exhaust that I want next, the belly pan costs too much but it's my bike and my money. I might easily have spoofed off the same amount for a show-off bottle of wine. So, . . .

This was actually a very simple and painless transaction. Communications were slightly awkward but  improved when I used simple declarative sentences.

Statler & Geoff, I'm on board:  Lazarus7's S4Rs specific posting @ http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=2681.15  made this an easy and quick removal.  Anyone wanting to remove the emissions cannister from a S4Rs should look at Lazarus7's post closely.

That pan really tidies up the motor.  Easily the best looking pan available.
