Dsquared, Apr 30 2008, 02:03 AM(IMG:style_emoticons/default/offtopic.gif) since you are local i believe, Henry. I was wondering where you get service done at, or do you do it yourself? I am some what mechanically inclined, but am afraid of playing with the my 05 vfr cuz of all the computer stuff on it. I have not been satisfied with my service in the past and have had a lot of problems, such as scratches dents, my abs being blown and other problems, when i got service done on my bike. If there is a good place you know of, i would really apreciate the help in finding it. Thanks alot.

Yo, Mr. D:
( I got your PM, BTW)
SOUTHWEST MOTOwill quote you a decent price on a single or a set. A set will get you free UPS shipping in the lower 48.
The best bet would be to get them to somebody close to the border and go down and pick them up/have them installed.
Failing that, you could have them shipped direct via UPS from SWMOTO, for an additional cost, via UPS.
However, I must warn you that you
WILL be charged GST applicable sales taxes, duty(maybe) and most of all a
BROKERAGE FEE! This can be an expensive surprise, and adds approx. $30-$50(plus taxes, of course) to your total.
Duty, taxes could be based on the
'declared' value of the items, not necessarily the
'actual' price paid. That's all I'm going to say about that publicly. Either way, these days, still a
GREAT DEAL!The best way IMHO is to have them shipped via USPS/CANPOST, because instead of a huge brokerage fee they charge a handling fee of approx. $5-8. I've had
NO problems whatsoever with all the things I've had coming/going, even around the world.
I could probably find out if I could have a set sent right to you if you want.
For anybody else in the Ontario area, I still have 1 set of Pilot Road2s and am getting a couple more sets in the near future.
PM if interested....
