They are available in any car parts place over here. Although for the life of me I can't remember the name!

Hi, Storch,
They're not too common over on this side of the pond. Powerlet is probably the way to go, as I imagine the "BMW tax" is fairly large. Years ago there was information that they were available at John Deere dealers (in Deere colo[u]rs), but probably the "Deere tax" is as high as BMW.
Google "Eastern Beaver". Jim sells Powerlet as well as a relay kit which should be a "must" on all K75/100/1100 bikes.

Geographically, yes. Postage-tax-duty wise, no. Might just as well come from China or Indonesia since it has to cross the border. Besides, many Ebay merchants don't ship to Canada, these guys included, and shipping from China can often be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than just across the border from USA. It is common to pay two times or more for shipping than what the item costs.

They are available on ebay.ca, too: http://shop.ebay.ca/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=hella+plug&_sacat=See-All-Categories

and: http://shop.ebay.ca/i.html?_nkw=powerlet&_sacat=0&_odkw=hella+plug&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Here's the "Deluxe" for less than C$17.00 shipped first class: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Powerlet-Deluxe-Plug-PPL-002-/160513647931?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item255f5be53b#ht_500wt_1156

You guys up there in the Great White North do know you have ebay? Right? I think any vendor who is showing the sales price in C$ is likely shipping to CA.

Don't know what you're using them for - but there are at least a couple different ones available. Jim at Eastern Beaver has both the standard and super duty models.

Hey Drikko, I got some Hella plugs in a 4x4 / Camping stop. Certainly sounds strange its cheaper being posted from the UK !!!
