Well I guess you only have to pay the VAT @ 20%
£30 odd I think.

Re: From the Land of the Rising Sun
I've had the same experience Seb. I recently bought a Traxxion dynamics fork kit from the States & got hit with import duty and I know the lads who bought the inlet manifolds recently got hit as well, yet all the bits from the Far East I have bought come through marked "gift"with no comeback. Best of luck with it.

Re: From the Land of the Rising Sun
i think its that same with everything else m8, usually comments from people who havent even seen them never mind bought them, saying uh theyre from china, theyre crap.seb421 wrote:I'm not to sure why they have a bad rap the far east fairings
seeing as almost everything comes from china these days, that would mean everything is crap.
unless it has a sticker on it from a jap or german company, in which case its the best, even though its still made in china

But what if the item was actually made in (say) Germany, but the sticker saying "Made In Germany" was made in China?benny hedges wrote:i think its that same with everything else m8, usually comments from people who havent even seen them never mind bought them, saying uh theyre from china, theyre crap.seb421 wrote:I'm not to sure why they have a bad rap the far east fairings

Re: From the Land of the Rising Sun
they look bloody good, might just have convinced me to order a set( but in plain red) but will hang on to see what the fitting is like on the bike 

Re: From the Land of the Rising Sun
The holes and locating pins / threads all look really good, quite confident all will be well.playerone wrote:they look bloody good, might just have convinced me to order a set( but in plain red) but will hang on to see what the fitting is like on the bike
visible paint finish is very good too,
big box too for delivery and all items wrapped separate and very well, not a dent in the box, was dreading that, i work at UPS and stuff gets battered in my place for ever going mad at the lads for throwing stuff or being heavy handed.
cant wait to get the bike home now and get them fitted up,
Just need the under tray painted / vinyl wrapped and the tank done.
probably paint the wheels too. front coat is wombles
