So hey fellow'sssss
paid for and ordered my Clarke 4.2 Gal tank to stick on my xr250l which should give me the bit extra you all know i wanted so bad!
wanted to get acerbis 22litre but meh, cbf'd with issues fitting, and the extra 5-6 litres will be a huge difference for my wee cee cee :)
checked bank before and it has cost me $255usd -> $316 NZ DOLLARS O_O, and 60usd was just for postage :D
big fan of using my creditcard now :)
never bought something in from somewhere before, will it cost me extra when it gets here?

Shouldn't cost anything extra.
No GST and I don't think there's any duty on bike bits.
You'll be getting 350-400 odd km range with this baby.

Goods over $250 attract GST, although I've got away with more than that on quite a few occasions. :cool:

ya you know it !
got tank, my legend hcx gps,
the difficult part now is racks, finally told honda that they make a genuine rack, but i think i want something a bit better, everyone says xr250 sub frames are weak as piss
so im gonna start practicing with TIG , cause i dont even wanna both trying to mig some nice racks, and see what i can come up with,
i do know that bash plates for xr250r's and xr400s will bolt straight on thou, so thats cool, all this xr250l model stuff is a problem, but im slowly getting through it
one day when engine neeeeeeeeds a makeover, ( one one day far far away i guess ) , ill probably give her some more cc's of grunt, but for now its the
rack problems,
tool tube & skidplate
maybe some seat improvements
new bars, better aux light setup, and BOBSYAUNCLE :D

>$400
When the GST amount hits $50 then they charge.

since the thread was abt Clarke Tanks - thought I'd chip in with you mainlanders and say how happy I am with my Clarke tank - makes a huge difference to the range of my wee DR. Only snag is need to lean machine toward left at about halfway to gain full benefit - disconcerting at the lights when it fluffs with a stack of impatient cage drivers behind you :-(

Confirm this. I had some shocks from ozzie ordered. Cost me quite a bit on gst. It's al on the customs website. Although they also mention that motorbike parst are free from gst :S
