Afternoon All
At some point I'm going to need to buy all the anciliaries to go with my bare 06/07 ZX-10R motor. I want to use US-spec stuff as the bikes over
there don't have the immobiliser etc that the european versions use - making the wiring a lot simpler.
Who has experience of using ebay.com to import stuff? Does anyone have a breaker in the States that they recommend?
Cheers
buying anything from the states will be hard. few reasons would be you only have pictures and a description to go by, secondly you might get hit by
import tax...
you can order from ebay.com, but only if the seller is willing to ship internationally, or if you know someone in the states, ship it to them, for
them to ship it to you
good luck
you can look at all parts at kawasaki.com
buying from the usa is not good if you ask me i have got around 30 items from the usa in the last year from ebay,import tax and handling fee, and also
the item geting lost and not geting a refund as they have proof of postage .(i have had 10 items from the usa gone missing in the last 2 years one
cost me £340 ,i got no comp for it .
always ask then to mark it as a gift.
If your supplier can issue an invoice saying the parts are 'commercial samples' and quote a low value, such as $20, along with the line 'value for customs purposes only' then they will egt through customs without import duty.
try track electronics, he does harnesses and would be able to provide a non immobilised ecu. google track electronics
I have had a ton of stuff from the States for a mates Bonneville. Prices are about a third they are here for classic Triumph bike bits. Not had any
probs with missing parts and found even with customs and the Royal Mail ripping you off for doing the paperwork, it is still much cheaper than buying
them here.
Modern bike parts are another thing. Honda CBR F2 crankcase here £65, there £14 but the shipping cost make it cheaper to buy them here.
^^^^ agreed !
Plus flights arent coming to the UK at the moment!!!
