    Hi everyone. My name is Marco and I have just got a 1980 FLHS from the states.

    Can anyone tell me what is involved in getting it registered in NSW.

    The bike belonged to a mate of mine overthere. Its a real nice looking ride.

    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Marco

    Gday Marco,

    My understanding is you need a kph speedo and a new light? that dips the opposite way as we drive on the RIGHT side of the road. Then something about the ADR sticker - noise test etc. and you're good to go.

    Someone posted an answer to this in the last couple of months under the heading 'Importing Harleys' or something like that. He included prices and everything.

    Check it out;)
    Cheers
    Raf

    Thanks Raf..Man that was fast lol.
    I read that post but he speaks of a personal import.
    Would that be different to mine as it was not owned
    by me in the States.

    Just tried calling a friend of mine who works for Australian Customs (not a bike shop) but not available yet. i'll let you know after I speak to her. She ran me through it not long ago and I remember her saying that it was actually easier to import under a business name etc. than personal as they think you must know what you're doing..
