I am baffled!

They actually sell the Odometer, which I paid USD 500 to fix.... for 200 Eur!

That is awesome!

Thank you, @biesel !

The part is currently 44 Euro with US shipping 82 Euro, so right at $135US . . .

The prices shown on the website includes the 19% VAT as it is compulsory in Europe.

In the FAQ, it is explained that you need to register to see the tax-free cost in your shopping cart (based on final destination).

Just a reminder that when you purchase anything new in Europe, and shipping destination is outside of EEC, VAT should be discounted, included for the shipping. Some online EUR stores do not specify that VAT is included (since it is a de facto), and you should always inquire before completing the transaction.

I have a new side stand switch that I was going to install on my EV.  No way going to use it.  If it works for you, I'm game.

My Sport has a new side stand but the switch was readjusted and works fine.

Looks like a nice piece of kit for our V11 S.

A group buy might make the shipping cost more palatable if we have enough people interested here in the US.

A good reminder. FWIW, that cost to the US I stated was after I entered all destination information. The price adjusted from 52,43 Euro to 44,06 Euro. Really, not bad at all for this piece, IMO!

The killer is that the shipping nearly triples the cost and I could only see one shipping option.

While the supply chain issues that arose from the pandemic seem to have been resolved now, the cost of freight has not gone back to what it used to be pre Covid.

But I am guessing nobody is surprised; it is like the fuel surcharge that was once the reason plane tickets cost increased. After the oil price went down, the fares remained at their new levels.

I don't know if we are going to see any decrease any time soon.

A group US order? The switch is small and light, so many may will fit into a reasonably sized box.

Example: I bought two helmets from FC Moto in Germany. That huge box and two spare shields were sent via DHL to the west coast of the US for $43. So, the shipping can certainly be far less than what is listed. If we can come up with a group order, perhaps HMB Moto can moderate their shipping cost.

I would go for one on a group order as well...that looks like a nice piece of kit.

We might just improve the breed to where we can forget those special Italian words we have learned. Nah...

Things are about to get worse with shipping costs....

Because of the attacks on shipping vessels in the Red Sea, many freight company have stopped going this route; Maersk, Hapag Lloyd, CGA-CGM, MSC; the Houties in Yemen have warned they would systematically attack ships navigating to the Suez Canal.

They are now going around Africa which is going to affect schedules and prices.

Most of the freight companies have also included a surcharge for "risks", since those attacks are now frequent and using sophisticated techniques such as drones. Even the pirates have learned to use technology... so far, airfreight has not been affected, but because of the demand, prices have gone up too.
