Hi, they say god moves in mysterious ways and maybe so but not half as mysterious as the EEC. Having said that there is no logical reason for this apparent stupidity. You could try motorcycle.co.uk which is a mega-site with loads of links, you will probably find someone with more nouse who can supply the same item. Good luck from the EEC where fuel cost a dollar a litre, at least in England it does!

Call em back and tell them you're welcome for bailing them out in WW2.  That always pisses them off :mrgreen:

haha even tho the bikers shop wouldnt mail to me i found bits-a-bike.  they agreed to mail outside of the EEC.  bikers shop also let me know EEC is euro jargon for europe.  Interesting.....

Yeah, sorry I should have said, it's European Economic Community, it used to be known as the "common market" (Germany France,U.K. Italy and eight others, soon to be loads more) not to be confused with European Economic area which is essentially the Swiss and some others who have a free-trade area also. The EEC is doing its best, or worse, to become the U.S. of E. I still recoment motorcycle.co.uk and it's pages of links. A good U.K. site for GS500 owners is Bikers Vine and select GS500 community.
