Importing a Harley

[Angry Puppy]

Hi Guys

I'm looking at importing a 2004 V-Rod and was just wondering if any of you have had experience importing Harleys. Anyone know who I'd need to talk to to get a Certificate of Compliance for the brakes? Any advice you could offer would be appreciated.

Guessing Lou at AMPs since he sells the things?

Harley! Why would ya!?
Take two panadol and lie down. You should get over it.

[Angry Puppy]

Yeah, kinda figured it would AMPS, but I've heard some main-dealers make things difficult for the little guys that way. Just wondering if anyone had experiences of getting the paperwork.

If its the same as importing a car that needs a cert of compliance, you can only get them from the distrubitor. Hence the problems that anyone will face trying to get an imported Ferrari rego'ed, as CCS don't want to give them up. I can understand their position as well, dealing in vehicles of that expense and maintaining the relationship you have to build with the client, you would want to show you're protecting their interests (and investments) by not allowing someone to import a similar car to the one you just sold them for half the money.

Back when AMPS were Shaft,they were the people you had to talk to.
They were also not very helpfull."barstads"
Same as now I reckon.

I'll try to be as unhelpful as possible.
Contact Gregg Gardiner in the Service Dept at AMPS 300 7500 for VIN info.. Perhaps also check with LTNZ.

i just drove off 2 V-Rods off a car ship from Japan this morning, nice bikes.
Cost around $400 for motorbike to ship...
i know a guy u can call for shipping..

That's the problem with the market these days! there are getting too many imports in the country and make it harder to retain a good price for our bikes.

Anyone mention Aprilia?

Has anyone shipped anything other than from the West Coast?

I like a bike on ebay, but am reluctant to bid because its in Michigan.. how the hell do I get it here? (to Christchurch...)

anyone want to buy an SV650?

[NZred]

Be a little careful about bikes on EBay,.. there are some scams out there,.. you pay but the bike never arrives. .. the warnings come from within USA.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Thanks for the warning. I am being as careful as I can be... and its $3k US (with 2 days to go) so while I would miss the money i havent bet the farm on it. Plus I have had a bit of correspondence with the guy, and he seems straightforward.

The bugger is shipping, and the Co's I have emailed in the US seem to be jerks... havent gotten back to me.

If you can get the bike delivered to California, Orange County LA,.. it can be shipped quite easily.
