It's an American company, so that means the kit has to be imported from the states.

And in the price range of $1500 you could probably double that by the time it's delivered to your door.
I reckon there must be a an EU supplier who can produce the same thing which would considerably reduce the cost. |
I import all my bits from the states... so I work on the basis of 8% duty - 15%VAT and roughly £15.00 customs clearance.
When I imported my front wheel the freight was $80.00. What you have to realise is that UK dealers (not only HD) do a straight conversion.
So if its $1400.00 it will be £1400.00 stg
Just do a comparison with UK HD dealers and USA... you will be shocked.
I have just purchased (Thanks to Rod for slagging off my numberplate) a laydown number plate kit with built in indicator relocator kit for $79.00
(£53.00) and I will get on Monday guaranteed delivery, if I had purchased from the UK it would had been not in stock, pay up front, given a delivery time of approx 2 weeks (comes from Germany) and then have to collect..
If there was realistic pricing in the UK I would buy here... But there aint...
