kx500 tripple clamps,...where are they at?

[husky333]

the carbon ones are fixed using  stainless rubber mounted straps, much like a modern road bike silencer or some of the modern mx silencers. I havnt collected the straps yet.  I will look into the cost of shipping to the USA in case anyone is interested. 

The carbon ones will look super cool on a street legal Motard or trick AF conversion.

That silencer looks awesome. I'd be interested in a price.

well, I just put my order in for a brand new crispy carbon fiber silencer...can't wait to get it!!....so much for the brand new Pro-Circuit silencer that's on it now with less than an hours run time.

Ok, i just checked with the post office and to package/ship a carbon silencer to Plymouth Massachusetts is $26 via Air Mail, takes 5-7 days.

I thought that was quite good, it cost me $120 to ship the Emig clamps over here and pay import duty!!

Don't get me started on import duties.
That's just another way of Governments ripping off their citizens....

I'm happy with the $26 shipping...considering I've paid a lot more for international shipping for just decals/stickers.

Import duty sucks!   Even when my dad in San Clemente CA sends us birthday gifts for his grandchildren we have to pay duty!!  Only way around it is for me to get stuff boxed up and put into a container with the kx500s i buy and ship it that way. I dont pay duty,... but its a very slow boat!

oh yeah... here in germany since 2009 they take the full price (article +shipping-costs) for calculating the import duty. under 22,- euro it is free. 22-150 euro you have to pay 19% . over 150,- euros the 19% plus another tax for the state (calculated from the 119% ) best example was my kx500 motor in 2011: it started with 450,-us-dollar + the shipping costs on ebay  . at least i payed roundabout 800,-euros = 1000 usd for all...  the shipping and import duty was more ,as what i paid for the engine itself...

so i look now first in uk and netherlands for parts,that i could not find in germany... in the eu is no import duty to pay, only the shipping costs...

sounds like these silencers are ideal for you Motopunk!!  No duty!!

[motopunk]

yes, but i have not the right bike at the moment, where i could use it, except it would be also offered some for the 87 - 89 kx250īs ...

I got my kx500 EMIG tripple clamps, but need to buy a bearing kit for them. Is it the stock size bearing kit i need? The stem has been supplied by EMIG, i am guessing that they use the standard kx500 size stem, is that correct?

all you could do is measure both stems and then for the case, that it is diferent, you could look for german SKF - bearings .. there is a wide range of bearing sizes that you could use with same outer diameter and many diferent inner diameters...
