    yeah that does add a lot? :(
    do they go by size or weight or price i wonder?
    i got £40 added to my rear shock, which cost £550 from USA, so £138 on the price of the fairing sounds a lot :(

    The place you got your shock from Simon would of marked the value as $180 and described it as a scooter damper, Won't mention the shop name but they are good like that ;)

    Oh yes now you mention it they did do that :) guess that's why it was only £40 duty, good lads them ;)

    Sorry Daz looks like your might be more,, it's a lotto though as I didn't get charged for my fairing, sorry to rub salt in ;)

    BTW I believe the correct name for Picts these days is Scots ;)

    well managed to get the fairing on with no real problems to speak of good fit and well worth the money and wait also picked up a yoshimura rs5 carbon end can for £100 of the bay but it was for a 600 rr just the can [no link pipe ] link pipe wouldnt have been any good anyway and fitted it to my bike i must say it runs better than when i had a carbon can co can on it. i think the rs5 for the 600 rr is shorter than the 1000 rs5 but dosnt seen to have made a diff to the power of the bike infact it feels a bit quicker also also painted the wheels orange with halfords rattle cans crap job but it will do until the winter then i will get them powercoated and fitted new tyres pr4s dropped the forks down 5mm and now it rides like its on rails but that could be down to the tyres anyway enough of me babbling on heres some pict one before the rest after Picture 001.jpg bikes new fairing 002.jpg bikes new fairing 003.jpg bikes new fairing 004.jpg bikes new fairing 005.jpg bikes new fairing 006.jpg bikes new fairing 007.jpg bikes new fairing 008.jpg bikes new fairing 008.jpg bikes new fairing 009.jpg
