Yeah - sorry M8ty, I should read the things properly I suppose, but when I see a hyperlink I just assume it's leading me where I need to be - bit dangerous really;)

IMO, Force look better, sound better, and are less expensive than Supertrapp. You can get some sense of their sound on the Force site, as posted in my previous response.

Anybody have experience of the Vance & Hines 16 Gauge for the Vrod
I don't have any personal experience of the V&H pipes for the Vrod but if the pipes for BTs are anything to go by you will not be dissapointed!

We are an authorised dealer for Vance and Hines, if you want a qoute for a set of pipes (remembering we offer a 10% discount for HDRCGB) please call us.

With regard to costs importing from the USA you will pay import duty and VAT on the total cost of the item including shipping. In addition you will pay a clearance fee to whomever handles the customs submission ( usually the Post Office). For more info see these links:- http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsP...HMCE_CL_000230


http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsP...HMCE_CL_001454

If you ship items and ask the seller to underdeclare thier valve or send as warranty parts then you leave yourself open for prosecution and can have the good seized. I personally haven't heard of anyone who has suffered this but it's worth remembering; no good complaining after the fact.

You will save (some) money buying direct from the USA. The drawbacks are that if you have a problem with the goods then the seller is safely living in the land of the free 4,000 miles away. If you have to claim against transit insurance ( you did insure it for it's FULL value didn't you?) you will know the true meaning of frustration. Items sent USPS have to have the claim submitted by the seller, and for all the will in the world sellers just don't put as much importance in filing a claim when they already have your money.

Finally, and this is my personal grip, if everyone and his dog buys direct from the USA then your local Indy will go out of business. Big deal? It will be when you need a part immediately, getting it from the USA will be 5 days minimum; 5 days off the road.
