Down near the bottom.

Yeah, these guys have taken over where RoadRacing left off and improved on things.

Downsides: The price. And they are probably radioactive.

That last part isn't true, but it's what I tell myself so I don't run out and buy one

Now you can drop your blingmeister with wild abandon, DM.  They just came up with replacement parts.

Wow. 

looks like the one you're makin me 

So are these the ones from Japan? Super nice. Too bad DUC can't offer these....pricey

At an approximate list of $2400 to $3000, that's a Mother$%^kin lot of money to add to the mod list.

I researched those guys last year as an alternate to a swollen tank.  They're unfamiliar with some pump configurations and sending them your tank was one way to clarify what you'd need on the new tank.

I'm not saying they're not worth it.  Handmade.  Beautiful welds.  But adding 25-30% of the total cost of my bike is quite a hike in the accessory budget.

Pricey, but I'd be all over it if it was for a bike that I never intended on selling. 

never intended on selling! 

$2300 is a lot of scratch, but had I unlimited funds I'd be all over one of these for the 998.
