Title: looking for FJ1200 handlebar risers in UK
Post by: shudnobetter on March 11, 2018, 05:44:32 PM
Hi,

Hard to get in the UK, I'm looking to get a set of FJ1200 risers like those from RPM. I know I can order from RPM but postage is costly.

Anyone able to supply new or used within the UK, or post there at reasonable cost?

Many thanks.

Have you checked with Doc Hacker and the UK FJ Owners?

Here's a link to their parts catalog: http://www.fjcatalogue.com/home.html (http://www.fjcatalogue.com/home.html)
Notice the minimum postal charge to Ireland, plus you have got to be a paid member to order parts from them.

RPM's not a bad deal after all...

Judging by the last couple small orders we have sent to Ireland. First Class postage will run you somewhere between $20-$30 USD. Without knowing the exact address this is a guess but I looked up 10 first class orders to Ireland for the last 5 months and all of them ranged in that price group.

A local FJer is planning a trip to the UK and is buying a bike there. He might be willing to hand carry a set from RPM and drop it in the local post over there. Andyoutandabout, where you at?

Ah - understood. That is a kind thought. Turns out the postage isn't too bad so I think it's simplest to go that route.

TOTALLY off topic, but I saw your signature...

Try looking up "Blood on the Risers" on YouTube. It's a song from the Airborne, (Paras), and matches well.
Cheers.
