Let's create a list of online sellers of motorcycle gear

Dainese Pro Shop
http://bimoto.be/dainese_store/index.php
Average site aesthetically, but the best service I've come across, for everything Dainese this is the place, if it's not on the site they will get it.
Accurate with sizing and they offer helpful advice, I highly recommend them!
(No I'm not getting anything for this, but I bought an RTwin jacket and am in love with it.)

Also, I think someone should compile each of the sites with a short blurb in to one post a FAQ it or something.

Except import tax?

No import tax on motorcycle accessories. Gst yes if over $400 including shipping. That's if they pick it up.

Has anyone dealt with the CNELL shop on trade me:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/stores/cnel...s-gear/contact
As a newbie I need to buy everything and looking at the these prices thought might be an option. Anyone know what the quality is like ?(although will get a proper rep helmet)

I bought my jacket from them. Its lower end, paid $200 but 1.4 mm thick leather and has armor, also has a thermal lining which you can take out. Had it a few months now its pretty good (nothings broken).

Outstanding to deal with...
I ordered a new helmet yesterday at around 3.30pm and it was here at 9.30am this morning!
A few emails went back and forth yesterday to John Mehaffy (Sales Manager) and he directed me to Warkworth Motorcycles
Totally stoked with the helmet...an HJC FS-11 with the Air Pump System and drop down sun visor...

I got a zero gravity double bubble shorty screen from this crowd. Communication was good. And so was the price.

If you ride a BMW these guys have all the stuff you need. I got a givi tanklock bag from them. Price was actually about the same as here in NZ.
I could have got it from Cycletreads but what I was after was out of stock at the time, and some of the people I first talked to did not really have much of an idea.
Mhornig was great to deal with. Typical German precision. There first email was in German, as I had a problem with payment. I responded with I am in NZ, I do not speak German. All good after that.
When the tank bag arrived they included a catologue of what they do. Very impressive. Particularly if you ride a Beamer. Which I do not.

I bought some CNELL boots 4 years ago. been used pretty much daily, everything from commuting to sunday rides, weekend jaunts, touring, a heap of trackdays etc etc and theyve been great, actually only just looking for a new pair now as they fell apart - fuckin good run for a $99 pair of boots.
Oh, and they survived a 70km lowside and a bin at the track at over 200 and were still good as gold and offered decent protection and i had no ankle foot or shin injuries.

Got a Sena Bluetooth communication thingee from them. Ordered it on Saturday, and it arrived a week later from the States. Also saved about 50% on what it would have cost here.

Three great suppliers in USA, awesome to deal with and have great deals/speicals though out the year, plus if you join www.gixxer.com, (if you own a gixxer that is) you will get a bigger discount.

It's been an expensive two months. The tiger is now rather personilised to my tastes.
Got some rizoma indicators from www.caprimoto.com. Very good service and shipping good value. Got a couple of oil filters as well.
Got a sw motech sump guard from www.twistedthrottle.com.
Got a Touratech chain guard and front sprocket cover from www.touratech.co.nz . Great service from these guys. And good luck to them. The price was competitive! Thanks Nigel.

So, I will let the bank account take a breather then it's up to Robert Taylor in April or may for the suspension.
