Buying Parts From USA - Recommend a Supplier - SV650.org

Luckypants · 08-01-08, 10:17 AM

I want to purchase a new exhaust system for my Viffer from the States to take advantage of the prices and exchange rate. I'm looking for a Leo Vince system and was wondering if anyone on here has used any US parts suppliers that they would recommend.

TIA

I got all that kit I got from the US from these guys

http://www.sspowersportsclarksville.com

Give them an email/call, they were VERY good.

I didn't however get them to ship it, I had a friend in that area do that for me.

Dont forget to add 40% to the quoted cost for tax and import duty - you may get lucky and not have to pay but.......

Might not be much help but guys on the Z750S forum have had some sterling service from these guys...

Have a look here:

I bookmark this site as they seem very reasonable. Also ship internationally and sell Leo Vince exhausts

Thanks

Buying from the states NEVER is as cheap as you think it will be, but hopefully you will do better than break even

Oh and you are right - the Viffer DOES need this - I felt like Bluethunder (the Helicopter, not the Bikeycopper :P) on whisper mode on the way home last night on the hire one I have.........

Well the dollar price is LESS than UK price in some places. So even with shipping ($80 ish) and possible VAT to pay on arrival in UK (bike parts 0% for duty) I look to save around 200GBP.
