Hi David, Bugger! Ah well will see what comes of it. Customs said no import tax as scrapes under threshold. But i never thought of speaking to parcel force. Thanks for raising the point! When it's all done I'll put a post on here to clarify it all, and hopefully help people put aside concerns about ...

Been looking into the de cat import procedure. Firstly I googled what happens, a great link is http://www.infomania.co.uk/archives/526 I found this very helpful. I also rang customs and excise and they said that it would scrape under import duty, so would just have to pay vat @20%. So from what I ca...

Thanks for that, I will search for it and hopefully find some more information out. Ah right, I got a stainless bolt kit for it, so if the loctite just for the cover I can get away with swapping one at a time.

Thanks for the replies. Tanneman, thanks for going into such detail. Bit naive of me but I didn't consider the loctite on the engine bolts! Did the ypiece split at a weld? I will measure my torque arm later on. Do you know what difference I would get with the sport (yellow spring) compared to my nor...

New owner, Jobs to do, things to buy, any advice please?

Hi, I have just bought myself a 1999 r1100s. I love the bike, but like with any bike I have had, I seek to get it back to near new condition over the next couple of years.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for getting back to me. Just got a few questions. Firstly when you say sports shock, what's different to the normal blue spring shock? Is the size the same? Also is the ride harsh on the sports shock? How is the shock cosmetically?

Many thanks,

Richard
