Ha! I recently bought a replacement fairing panel from Greece. Guess what happened?
Yep, held up by Aus Customs for 3 weeks...
Lovely people, beautiful girls, brilliant scenery (crap economy!) tolerable alcohol - but clearly, someone in Customs does NOT like stuff coming from Greece - which is pretty odd, since Melbourne is the second-largest Greek city in the world....
I'd like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.
The appropriate number of cylinders for any motorcycle is two.
Feck your boys in Customs are gonna give the Spanish civil service a real challenge for the slowest feckwit award...Just saying....
Stuff arrives from China and Honkers in 3-4 days, US 5 days, UK about a week, usually - as Andrew says, it's just Germany & Greece that seem to annoy some gnomes in Customs House - maybe they're allergic to countries that start with G!

No idea which bars are better but good news is - postman knocked on my door today with big heavy box from Germany...exactly 20 days since I paid. I am going to be very busy next weekend...and hope to get them fitted before Easter as I expect to explore Flinders Ranges Nat Park ! But Capo needs her arse raised too :-(
Raising the arse is easy - a pair of $10 plates and ten minutes to fit them; I can even lend you a standard set to measure and compare to the RR ones so you can make your own.

Thanks Steve, I will keep your kind offer in mind. I was going to fit Hyperpro at back first and test. Than maybe dog bones too.
But I am confused now as Moto Italia told me today "Adam, I dont use or recommend progressive rate springs at all. Neither do most people with suspension experience." ???
Then why not just fit Ricor Intiminators, and problem sorted !!

No - it's not (just) a brand-name - it's a description of a type of winding that has varying rates of compression resistance and can be found anywhere.

Thanks for the School Lesson Precis, however I do know what progressive springs are !! I already have them fitted in my V-strom forks.
However I did not realize that they suppled progressive springs for rear shocks as there is a shock/damper inside the spring that controls compression and rebound !!

talking about pretty girls in europe, single men from any country need to go to latvia first because 70% of the latvian population are females! Gosh those girls are suffering so bad to get married, almost no single guy in the country. Just go to the bar, grab a beer and sit, they will come and get you even u r a shy one!been there 6 times as a shy one!
