    you might get slugged on the import tax if its over a thousand bucks i think. I did on mine. hopefully you got a good deal and dont have to.

    they look great once they're on though. will change your bike in a big way. nice one

    I got burnt with import tax when I bought an exhaust system for my car from Europe, was a bargain zorst until FedEx stung me for tax :(

    Now I always try and keep to the $1000 ceiling for buying anything overseas.

    So educate me, the air rides are mostly a visual upgrade to the bike right? The sweet dumped look when parked, not really for the actual ride of the bike out on the road?

    Apparently they make quite a difference to the ride quality. I really wanted them for when I have a pillion...so I can lift ther arse end a bit.

    Ah, makes a fair bit of sense for when riding with a pillion. Had my girlfriend on the back last week and was leaning around a quick round-about and got a scrap. Realised when we pulled up i'd scraped the frame (was thinking I caught a peg of the stock zorst). Turns out it drops a few inches two up!

    I'd be looking at the air rides too but girlfriend just got her bike license to she wont be on the back much anymore ;)

    Very happy with the Arnotts and the installation was a piece of cake.
    I did deviate from the instructions a little though.
