I am, but the only Vulcan they list is 02-04 750. Will investigate. But would it actually cost less to ship a couple of sets? And do we know if Customs charge on these things? I had to whimper heavily at them to get away with import duty and GST on my Bohn armour just last week.

Hanabelle - you wont save any costs obviously unless one of you orders both products and has them shipped to the same physical address. If the order is under $400 (how many panels on your bike???? ) you won't be charged GST as far as i know.

Anyway... me and dangerous at least can vouch for the product ...

I read that you can be exampted import duty when they are safety equipment. But I am suprised that you got away with gst.

Also found a place on the shore that does these 3M stuff for bikes and jetskis.

They are

PWC Planet - personal watercraft
Ph: 09 44 33 064
175 Archers Rd, Glenfield.

They say it'll cost around 100~150 max to do the important bits on a bike. They were recommended to me by Reflections M/C refinishers.

Sounds like motorbike parts to me.
No duty on motorbike parts.

Well, not much.

If any of you out there haven't heard of it, theres a product i found out about from Dangerous, it's a 3M clear (invisible almost) adhesive done by a company called tankslapper @ http://www.thetankslapper.biz

Really good stuff. They make awesome "whole bike" protection kits. This stuff can be tricky-ish to apply well, but once on it's wicked. You can remove it without damaging the paint as well.

In this case it would have definitely saved the paint.

Serive is top notch as well.... i ordered the tank kit b4 i found out about the whole bike kit and they credited me. It arrives in 5 working days from the States. All good!

Yep, this is really good stuff. I've got it on my 1000, and wish I'd known about it when I bought my 800. When I get my S2R I'm going to get it as well. Since I'm not sure when I'm getting it, I won't order the S2R tankslapper yet.

Have to agree that the service is excellent, and the shipping costs are minimal. Hamish fitted mine and it didn't take long at all.

Followed this thread a bit and FWIW, here's my 2 cents.

1 - Zapf - you have my sympathy, but that's all. Newbies in any activity WILL make mistakes. That's life and it is true when it is said "that you learn from your mistakes". And now Zapf, you have learnt why they make Scuff protection sheets.

2 - Paul - was not offensive in any way whatsoever, IMO.
He told it like it REALLY is and I was surprised that some over sensitive people saw it differently??????? (And the personal attacks were very bad taste.)
For the apologists to suggest "take it to the small claims court" etc - is just weasel stuff.
Get a life and accept responsibility for ones own actions, not put the blame on someone else.

3 - Wildfire - if you have read this thread, do you still want to proceed with your venture????
