    Hello all,

     

    With the Oz dollar reaching parity with US $ it might be worth looking at buying parts straight from the USA rather than pay the hefty mark-ups, conversiona rates from months ago here. Cab anyone recommend a good, reliable and trustworthy outfit in the USA for ordering?

    I got a bunch of stuff from these guys

    http://www.sunharleystore.com/

    They where great but don't order direct from the site email Peter because he gave me a far better deal on shipping than what was listed on the web site. My stuff arrived a week after i paid for it.

    I meant to write ALMOST got hit by that..... referring to the bad advice I was given till now - they must have meant on the 1 consignment as you say.

    Good to know.... planning on getting some goodies soon.

    G'day,

    Just one thing that I would like to know is, if you spend over the $1000 limit is it in USD or is it  AUD and if you do go over $1000 is the tax on only the portion over the $1000 limit or does it apply to the whole cost.

    Also M & M are great got some brake pads from Mark and they sent the wrong ones for the front, e-mailed Mark and he resent the right ones sent over and said to keep the wrong ones, how good is that.

    Stinga

    The 1000 limit is in AUD not USD. you will be charged duty and GST on the lot not just the bit that is over.

    Dave - that is why the argument to buy local is mute.

    Bit of  fan of J & P Cycles

    www.jpcycles.com/

    You can enter your bike model and year and it will let you know if the part is compatible or not. Member discounts as well.
