Folks, i'm after a little advice on what I need to do to prep my bike for when i bring it back home to Australia as a personal import, or if i'll get slugged the average $2.5k that i've seen tossed around anyway, regardless. Been trawling the forums and checked out http://geezers.com.au per one of the threads, so have some idea, just after your experience/thoughts.

Another shop to speak to is Iron Motorcycles in Caringbah.  They bring in a heap from the US and can advise you of the process.

Welcome to the forum, will be interested to follow your thread as you make some decisions on the above, nice looking bike , asking price in USD ? 

just a small piece of protocol

Introduction

Sent you a PM Arjay which may be of assistance with the bike coming to Oz.

arjay ,cutting thru' all the unnecessary bullshit posted in this thread

Yes , you will need the stock OEM exhaust

Yes , the stock handlebars ( and probably stock brake hoses/cables etc etc to suit )

Yes , the stock lights and lenses as well

Yes , you will need a Km/H speedo ONLY ( miles and Km/H won't do !)

The "compliancing centre" will do the tyres and brake pads AND "RHD" HEADLIGHT as a matter of course assuming you have the above in order. They do not ordinarily do brake hoses as part of the RAWS scheme

I do a bit of work for the Compliance centre near me in Perth WA , and can put you in touch with him if you wish. He does do bikes that go east thereafter.

He would also be a good contact for shipping to Fremantle WA

PM me if you need contact details ( then you can ASK him about the bars and cables etc etc !)

lol   pissed myself reading this thread.  great stuff.  lol
