Hi Wayne, I'm looking at possibly buying a V-rex imported, what would say $20,000 get me?
thanking you advance Allde.

 Hi mate,

Hows it going? I'm umming and arring about the idea of importing a heritage softail (2005 or 06). I've seen a couple for around the $13000 mark. What are the rough costs that you guys charge to bring one in? Do aftermarket parts like wheels and ape hangers cause many problems with getting them complied?

Thanks mate,

Robbie

 Thanks Chopa, I'll email you this afternoon.

Ugliest thing I have ever seen. But uses a vrod engine

It looks like a transformer, not a fan but horses for courses! I am curious about handling though, particularly with a swing arm up front

Excuse the x 2 posts, iPads aren't great with this forum

Hi my name is chad and i import hds up to 2011s i do old bikes as well. Im frome the states born and rasied. If u guys are wanting some bikes let me know my price range on newer bikes are 20 flat thats shiping aswell and all the complyence parts aswell. Tell me what ur looking for ill find it send me an email. 18brovo@gmail.com

Can anyone advise me if Geezers on the gold coast can comply bikes themselves or do they get another raws workshop to do the work.Also I think Californian Image at Narangba can only comply three models of harley.I know both these companies can do shipping but what about compliance.Has anyone used either of these companies and how did it work out.

mate , if I were you there is only 1 guy to deal with...Wayne @ Chopaweeza
no bullshit, straight up kinda guy

Chopaweeza how many models can you comply and what are they. Or do you outsource compliance the same as the others do.Because you stated in your reply that "most of us" use multiple compliancers.Seems to me would'nt it be cheaper to go straight to the compliance shop instead of paying for your mark up as well on the compliance.

I have imported through Californian image....................best steer way clear of them

Has anyone imported a trike from the USA?, How hard is it & would it be much trouble to have it complied once landed.

I guess not, next question is can anyone tell me what would the ballpark cost be to bring in & have ready for rego on a Stock Electra glide purchase price around 15k

I like to do several months of research before I end up doing something just so I know pretty much everything before moving that way I shouldn't have too many surprises, Choppaweeza will be who I will be using for import,transport to his warehouse & compliance, have spoken to Wayne about compliant models etc, Now the search begins for the right bike, Even with the lower dollar for me it is still a viable option for a trike, either a Tri Glide or an Ultra & convert over here.

If you are going to buy a Tri Glide at this stage it looks like the only ones that can comply one are in Queensland. I would have thought it would make more sense to have it shipped straight to Qld rather than via NSW.

 I here on the grape vine that A to Z Imports on the gold coast is up for sale. I think they do some of their own compliance work as well as doing the compliance work for Geezers. Hope all goes well for anybody with bikes they were importing and compling.Not like  what happened to the poor buggers that were dealing with chopperworks.

Post up a link when the new website is up please Wayne

 I will try to keep this as short as possible...

years ago i got ripped off quite substantially by a scammer. and it isnt something you get over.  to this day, if i get a sniff of a scam, or if someone attempts a swifty on me i go PHYCO.

these days there are more and more scams , or providers who promise the world, and then cant deliver as per the agreement.

in my dealings with importation i have seen and heard of all sorts of dodgy's.  When i was looking to import  my OLD ironhead, i spoke to and asked many questions to CHOPPAWEEZA (sorry if i spelt that wrong). I found him to be totally up front, and with some knowledge myself, knew he was right onto what the situation is. .He had plenty of time for me and my questions, and was totally professional. 

i could not say the same for some of the others out there...

Peace of mind is WORTH A LOT.  the last thing you want when laying out hard earned cash overseas is to spent the next few months worrying.

as it happens i ended up finding what i was looking for ( a complete XLCH) in a shed locally. so i never had to use CHOPPAWEEZA.s  service,  but by writing this i hope it repays him in some way for the help he gave me (good deserves good)..  and i would thoroughly recomend if you are looking into importing, you should talk to him.

PS i do not know CHOPPAWEEZA other than through this forum...  this is not a adverticement for a mate... this comes from me to anyone looking to import who wants good service and to have a hassle free import.

I do not give personal recomendations easilly, only when deserved.

Wayne from Chopaweeza imported my bike, no hassles, everything in order and straight and up front,
He is a passionate guy who knows the business, others are employees for faceless owenrs.
Next Time it will be Chopaweeza,
Nuff said

He is a real bloke not a corporate rip off.
