$400 NZD including shipping I'm told, and big boxes might grab their attention regardless
I'm thinking I'll be hitting 45k in about 3 weeks, but may not be able to do the service until after the 21 september
Likes a good argument...
Yep, $400 incl. shipping. They sometimes get pinged lower than that and sometimes slip through higher than that. Anything that 'looks' expensive, such as a big box, is more likely to get stopped. Also anything shipped with a company name on it seems more likely to get stopped, too.
Best just to budget for the extra 12.5% on the purchase price and be done with it.

Assuming this is the right place for unbiased info on the VFR :P Looking at an ex-rental 2000 VFR with 115,000km. I realise they are high mileage bikes. Asking price of $6000. Too much? Other option is a Suzuki RF900 for the same money and 50,000km. Any concerns, apart from negligible resale value? I'm informed that 115,000km is around 250,00 in car terms.

lol I got a quote and combining saves a whoping 3 pounds. So not really worth the effort.

How's the regulator/rectifier? They can be a hassle.

spray paint black (at da mo)... This will probably be getting replaced with a smooth even gloss black.
the reg/rectifier seems ok, haven't noticed any probs with it

Ahhhhh, basic black! There seemed to be quite a few of the tricolor RWB imported back then. I was certainly drooling over them in '86.
If the reg/rec goes, it goes quickly... (said from experience...)

If the reg/rec has fins on it, it's probably an aftermarket replacement. If it doesn't, getting some black aluminium heatsink and epoxying it to the side of the reg/rec could be a bloody good idea, they get stinking hot which is why they go south...
Of course, if yours is still going after 24 years then it's probably tough as nails, anyway!

Recomended.

Nice, got my stands from there too... Not the most robust models but perfectly good for the most part...Just got my single sided rear and universal front stand from Houseofcustom on trademe
Recomended.
Just bear in mind the front stand is virtually impossible to use on the VFR for some reason. Easy way to drop the bike on its side. If I'm just doing it wrong, someone please tell me :P
Marquis
I got my vfr up on both by myself without dropping it?
I did back stand first then front without an issue.
Anyway here's overpriced nc30 of the week
