You would think that the land of Japan has gone back in time to closed borders and no foriegn trade.
Here are some comments from some Japanese companies in regard to export of their products.

Metal Speed >Do your produce Hayabusa Products?
Yes, we produce Hayabusa Products in Japan. We produce its mufflers. But
we sell them only in Japan. Because we are very strangers about another
countries (about the law or languages, etc....), we won't help you.
We are sorry about it.

Michael,
are you sure you want to deal with these guys ? They just keep coming back sounding so
negative ! Must be some new sales tactic or perhaps they have rules against making a profit.
Here's what they say :
They have no Email address, website, no-one that speaks/reads English.
They have never sent anything overseas before and have no overseas distribution. If someone
were to propose a distributionship overseas they would be interested to listen - may be
difficult as they have no English speakers. They will not accept credit cards or any type of
bank transfer, only do sales via cash.
Tough company ! I am currently waiting for their address to come through and a map of where
they are, and if they have a stock of the parts or make to order. When I get this I'll let ya
know more.
P.S. Got the T-Shirts last night ! They look great, thankyou very much for your kindness. I
think the only part of America I will visit in the near future is Hawaii, so maybe I can help
Maui with Pete's bike.
