Would the courier from the US costs more than the side skirts though?....

If buying from the US is easy i might have to get some more bits now i've decided to keep the thing :)


if its under $1000 there will be no import duty. if i can recal they took about 2 weeks to arrive

For a good sounding exhaust, alot of people on here have been raving about the "Town and Country" exhaust system down in geelong. I think its around the 1k mark.

freight costs are a killer. There seems to be very little choice for most consumers who have no real opportunity of taking advantage of competitive rates eg business rates. If you know someone/ business regularly shipping from US it can be attractive. The ex works price can easily double by the time you take delivery. You can buy an exhaust from T&C Geelong for a lot less than $1K.

I checked with the guy in the US who had a set of side skirts in Garnett Red for an NB listed at $195. He quoted me $80 freight to Australia but said he would fold them to make freight cheaper? That sort of put me off the whole idea even though he said he has sent them folded up previously with no damage to the side skirts.
