The tax cost me £35 on the ones I had delivered, but I did get 2 sets in the same box so i guess it must be around an extra £17 per pair.
Still a far better price than £130 and they are quality items.

Sweet thx, even with tax added theyre going to be 50 notes cheaper than anywhere in the UK, so worth it if stung.

Was this easy to take off. I'll look at mine tonight but from memory I couldn't budge mine withough hacksawing it off, it was fixed in place with no bolts, screws, etc.

Dont want to order another set if I cant fit the accelerator!

Cheers

Not really.....

Most exporters package goods up as a "gift" with a lower than true value on the package, meaning it doesn;t get stung for customs/import tax.

I've bought heaps of things from Japan and never been stung yet!

Dark Blue Mark

It was marked gift. Not sure of value.

Mine had a value of 1000 Yen on the packaging, with a full description of what was inside

Matt Classic

Thats exactly how mine came too.

You can check the approximate Currency Conversion at

So JPY 13052 @ 194.259 = £67.19

Not bad If it doesn't get hit by anymore duty charges that is

I got stung for £25 by parcel force. ffs. Still, money well spent. Just need to go on a few Japanese language courses now.
Does anyone know a link to the english instructions please. Do we have to drill holes for the screws???

CataIunya

you dont need instructions, the pic are quite detailed the only bugger was the accelerator pdeal the pin is difficult to locate on the otherside of the pedal. Well was for me anyway. I got mine from Japanparts with no tax and how good do they look ? wicked
