    I've been told of a useful contact for freight from the US.

    The guy who had the Harley shop in Dunedin is now running Imperial Freight in Compton, LA.

    He's specialising in amalgamating/consolidating freight for this part of the world.

    I haven't used him - yet - but the guy who told me is using him a lot and reports very good rates and fast delivery.

    Don't have a link sorry, but I'm sure it's findable.

    I've been buying car and motorbike bits from the states, shipping has been between $17US and $35US. Has always come by USPS priority international mail, takes a couple of weeks to get here.

    Might take you up on that, still trying to buy a pair of air intakes from two separate guys in America. One quoted between US$300-$600 to ship. I'm guessing he didn't really want to sell them to me, despite acting to the contrary.
