MJ had an interview a year or two ago where he talked about wanting to buy better parts for his team from factory Suzuki/Yosh and they told him point blank "you can't afford it" He said umm yeah I can. And they reiterated no you can't. Thats why they call that stuff "unobtanium". The "good" parts are one off for specific teams. Whether that be Yosh or even Ohlins or Showa parts.

A couple years ago I got a TON of good parts from Erion for my 954. But that was never a Superbike, and this was years after the fact.
I'm talking about Buell of course.
