questions...

1... is there a usa equivalent... if so... give it up...

2... i recall some of the k11oldgeezers getting some stuff from them with good results... any comments from the og will be appreciated...

3... since shipping is costly... are any of the og planning on getting some stuff from them... perhaps a piggyback is in order...

Tried to find the fairing for the K on the British moto-bins page, with no success. Any ideas where to find it, USA or UK. Have small lip fairing, always looking for an up grade.

I bought a new complete mirror/turn signal assembly from them in December off of Ebay, seventy eight bucks and change USD including shipping. It arrived quickly and was well packed. Two days ago I received a thank you note, on paper, in my PO Box, thanking me for my business and letting me know the '09 catalog is being printed soon and will be mailed shortly thereafter.
I give them two thumbs!

I've used all the UK speciality suppliers, including Motobins, and haven't a bad word to say about any of them! Laughing

They all seem to be run by enthusiasts and I find they always seem to go that extra yard to help a customer.

I have found Motor Works very helpful, especially with tech queries, and James Sherlock is another well established BMW dealer and their used item prices are very competitive.

Usual disclaimers, satisfied customer and all that. Wink

If you guys need anyone this end [UK] to consolidate consignments or make enquiries on your behalf, I will be pleased to help.

I have found a relatively inexpensive carrier that flies daily to the USA, and if there is no particular rush for an item they do a "standard" 7 day delivery which is very good value.

I recently sent a K100RS seat and cowl to the USA and their charge was 50% LESS than UK Parcelforce.

This offer is purely NON commercial and meant to be as a service for fellow K11og members. Cool

I imagine with the current low value of Sterling Crying or Very sad

purchases from the UK would be good value.
