Default Import for the states

All,
I have looked on line and they seam to be far cheaper over there than in the UK.


I have just sold My Porsche and would like a nice Heritage Soft tail.



Can anyone point me in the right direction with ref to importing a bike from the States

By the time you pay shipping, import duty and VAT I doubt it'd work out much cheaper.
Then you'd need to get all of the rear lights modified for UK road use.

Plus the bikes are right hand drive so they'd be no good here......
