Title: Where to buy a K&N Lunchbox in Europe (UK)
Post by: crazyfish on April 10, 2008, 05:14:28 PM
Anyone have any idea where to get a cheap K&N lunchbox filter in the UK? most places seem to sell them at about three times the price of the ones in the US... I've had a look at getting one shipped over but the shipping makes up the rest of the cost. (I got a quote of $99 for one inc. shipping from the US, and one for about £55 from the UK without shipping). it all seems kinda pricey for somthing that only costs about £20 to buy in the US...

Any ideas? or should i just cough up the cash...    :dunno_white:

That's insane.  I can ship a 1-2lb priority package for about $10 over to your side of the pond.

PM Scott_paGS or something like that.  He works for a bike shop with a pretty large online store, I'm sure even if they don't normally ship to the UK he could help ya out.

Cheers for the offer Jay but ive opted to go for the "poor mans pods" instead. some universal clamp on ones. Not many people seem to use them (probs because you can get something much better for not much more cash in the states), but ill give them a go and report back on how they hold out...  :thumb:
