Anyone seen a better price on this sort of thing KIT STREET BOX MOLLE OLIO AMMORTIZZATORE HYPERPRO YAMAHA MT-09 | eBay



I found it whilst trawling ebay europe for goodies, seems a fair bit cheaper than UK stockists.

I like the kit street box. I wonder if anyone one of us have installed and given there personal review on track and street using the kit.

just be aware that the I ties offer stuff with no vat added (even tho they say they do) so when it lands here you get stuffed for 20% vat plus the 30+quid customs fee-also plus vat .....and they stuff you for vat on the shipping too. ive had a few run-ins with them selling exhausts for cheap prices in euros only to find its minus UK vat.

I've bought a few large items on Ebay from Italy and never had a customs issue. EU to EU should never be a problem as you can pay VAT at either end and it's their problem, not yours.

Hi Marcus, looks like a pretty good price, that is about the cost of my Maxton rear shock (which transforms the bike) be aware though that the main problem on the front is not the springs, but the fact that it only has damping in one leg (although springs in both) which means the compression damping needs to set hard one the one leg to compensate for the non damped leg.

I will be getting a Maxton front conversion as soon as I can live without the bike for the week it is going to take.

it becomes your problem when the nice man from the post office rocks up and says you have to pay VAT cos the nice man who was selling items cheap on ebay didnt include a vat reciept, theres a few doing it on ebay which is why you'll see a UK price and a cheaper EURO price from the same seller.

It would be nice to find someone who has this kit fitted already, and can do a comparison from a standard bike. Tis a good price as you get free new springs and oil for the same as a Maxton rear going on the quote they emailed me last week.

mmmm, used an Italian outfit on ebay a couple of times - something like mauro99 or similar - for exhausts etc and never had a problem (yet)!

I know they tailor spring rates to your weight and riding style but how come they need the bike for a week??
