Saw this on another forum. Looks like Gubellini is offering several different shocks for the FJ 1100 and 1200. I know nothing about them than they offer a lot of options and seem to be seen in a positive light by the race crowd.

Don't forget to add 22% VAT.

I sure would like to add a remote preload adjuster on to my Penske 8987 triple clicker.
It sure would be handy at the rallies to lighten the preload after taking my luggage off.

not sure if exports are subject to VAT. mt tooling at work isn't, but I have not imported any personal stuff.

Bit of trivia. I ordered my saddle bags direct from Italy shipped here to the U.S. and there is no tariff or tax on motorcycle parts imported from Italy.  There should be no VAT but verify first.  My order took 21 days to get here with no real problem.  Tracking is about non existant.  Make sure they use the correct HS commodity code. I think this is the HS code,  871419 Motorcycle parts.  If they ship to the U.S. they should know this. If not coded correctly it could cause a major delay with customs here.  In my case the shipper in Italy communicated in English which helped.  I started out with a translation program but was told English was fine (thank goodness). The Italian translator program has a LOT to be desired.

Only comment is the tracking is not what we are use to here in the U.S..  In my case after reviewing all the paper work the bags spent most of there time right here in the U.S. at Kennedy International clearing customs.  There is a communications black hole at that point.  In the end all was good bags for 270.00 full in no tax or tariff.   BUT, there is always one of those,  if UPS or Fed Ex gets involved they will probably charge you a fee for them "helping" you to clear customs. My bags came in USPS guess they don't "help" so much .
