Title: NEEDED: Someone in UK to ship a package
Post by: adidasguy on February 26, 2013, 02:16:49 PM
This showed up on ebay. If the seller will not ship to the USA, is there someone in the UK that will receive it and forward it on to me?
It is a full GS500E fairing.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121041426364

I have found more fairing parts that I need to replace some bad parts for my Husky bike project.

.....and one question is why do so many European countries not ship to the USA? To they hate us or is it our government and customs that is such a pain?  :dunno_black:

Found a dual headlight for an "E" fairing (by the way, there are 3 different front sections for these!)
Seller says stuff always gets lost. Trying for expensive shipping byt if no go, I really need someone over there to help get the parts.

Check if they send to Portugal, at least is inside the EU. If so, I can then sent it to you!

Here is one part I need. He said no to USA. maybe Portugal. Please ask him if he will send it to you via registered post (He says anything outside UK gets lost)
If so, I'll paypal the money to you. Then when you get it, determine postage to me and I'll send more.

(I know it is cracked, but it is the only one I find. It is the early version of the "E" fairing)

Still working on that headlight inthe UK. There is one in Germany with the top fairing piece but expensive. I already have most all pieces coming NEW from a seller in Israel. Missing the headlight, lower right piece and an optional upper inner brace.

Heres another one in Germany I need to complete a set:

You could've said that you are so interested in thos faired model pieces. I came across several bikes/fairings of that model for sale in the local ads. As I told you before, I had one of those 5 Stars GS500, not because I wanted but at the time was the best deal that I could get in a decent GS500. In the meantime I saw one faired model, red, two headlighs (not inside the same glass) for sale like 400€, the whole bike and some kilos of dust included. If I come by one of those in the local ads, I will tell you.

Anyway, do you and me to check/buy any of those links in your last post?

I can use all of them. If you buy them, I'll send you the paypal right away.
When you get all parts, calculate express post DHL to the US (that seems to be best from Europe) or whatever is best from your place. and I'll paypal the funds for that. I'll include extra so you do not get dinged for fees.

I appreciate it!  :cheers:

From the dealer in Israel, all the parts are new old stock. She couldn't find the lower right side, the upper front brace (she had the lower part) or the headlight. She had a new right side red/pink plastic but not the other side. I happen to have a brand new tank so new tail plastic to go with it means I can build a new, 1994 bike.

Am I correct that TCP is Five Stars in Germany? I've heard they are  the same company.
Seems there are 3 different "E" fairings. 2 different stules to the lower sides. Middle seems the same. 3 different tops. One with a dual headlight. Then 2 with a single trapazoid shape headlight with either a single light or 2 projector lights in it.

Seems all kinds of cool GS500 parts are available in Europe. It tempts me to come over for a week just to do a parts run.

I thinkg Five Stars is a german company. The bike I had was imported from germany. In the german GS500 wiki, there more info about those editions. About TCP, I don't know that company, my ex-GS500 didn't have any TCP mark, just "Five Stars"...
You might find these links interesting(I suggest the use of some online translator):

Good links. Thank you!  :thumb:
I have a Five Stars fairing and a TCP which appear identical except for the stamp on the wind shield. The fairing I am trying to complete is supposed to be an earlier model of the TCP. Though I have seen parts listed as Five Stars that are identical. It makes me wonder if both companies used the same parts or were somehow related.
TCP is in Spain - I would think you would have heard of them since you have to go through Spain to drive to Germany  :icon_lol:  :icon_rolleyes:

I didn't knew that TCP was Spanish! It makes sense, knowing that the GS500 was produced in Spain for a long time.
They seem to have a distributor in Portugal also, I might call him in the meanwhile to check if he has some new old stock...

Still waiting for the german reply...  :cheers:
