could try to get them from canadian dealers, but i suspect that they will have the same issue, not to ship out of canada..
just a thought...
other option would be send some sexy pics to a member and get them to ship the stuff to you... would take a good favor and someone you trust though.
on another topic, my exhaust is showing up next week, exhaust is straight forward, and i've watched several videos online of people putting it on, but how much time should I alot to install it? (I am a heavy duty mechanic, so I know which end of a crow bar to swing)
*edit* found my answer to the tool question. any tools that V&H doesn't list as needed, but you guys found useful?

I say bring the whole tool box. if you just grab a few tools, you'll always end up not having the one you need.

haha, it's your exhaust
i would bring the whole tool box, except it's a 4' tall rolling cabinet that cost the company about $3000, and is owned by them, so getting it to my jeep without being seen, is one thing, getting it home (in a jeep) and into my 3rd floor batchelor is a whole nother haha
I do have a briefcase toolbox here that I use for most everything, but i figure specialty tools you never know, but if it's just a basic socket set and a few screwdrivers needed, i'll be good

ha- ok that makes things significantly easier.
--
bring a set of SAE sockets, 1/4" and 3/8" drive, short and long extensions both 1/4" and 3/8", socket swivels both 1/4" and 3/8".
--
torque wrench that does inch lbs and ft lbs- you'll need both, always torque everything to spec
--
blue locktite
--
set of SAE wrenches - double up on the 1/2", 9/16" 5/8" wrenches. I always have two of every size wrench.
--
large crescent wrench for the o2 sensors or specialty o2 sensor socket
--
anti seize compound for the 02 sensor threads (use very little and don;t get any on the sensor tip)
--
masking tape to cover areas of bike you may accidentally rub against with the pipes, and also to wad into the exhaust port before picking out the old exhaust gaskets. you don't want those steel fibers going into the motor and believe me they will fling everywhere once you start pulling it out. Eye protection strongly recommended.
--
a few different picks to pull out the old exhaust gaskets
--
a small flat screwdriver to (gently) scrape away any debris from the exhaust port opening gasket area
--
some rags to wipe things out like the exhaust port
--
Couple of cold ones- figure on two hours time.
--
once you get the pipes mounted up, aligned and secure, then you can pull the baffles out and put in a set of BCT baffles. way better!

Awesome! That should be everything I need to know to do the install. I've got the majority of those parts at home, have to swing by a dealership to grab a few gaskets, and I'll have to buy some blue loctite, I only have red.
2 hours isn't bad, I can deal with that for sure! I'm off Tuesday, when the pipes are supposed to be delivered, so I'll be sitting in the driveway, with my tools, waiting for the delivery guy.
Gotta say, I'm a little surprised that there's aftermarket companies that make curved baffles specifically for v&h pipes! Which are louder when putting around? We've got some cops around here that are ****** when it comes to exhaust noise, and testing is done from an idle, from what I am told. I don't mind loud when I open it up, but butting up my street I don't want to **** off my neighbors, or be waking the girl up when I sneak out in the middle of the night

the BCT baffles are not curved. your bike will be loud either way- it will just be a better loud with the BCT baffles, the VH stock baffles are loud but sound tinny. . see google: https://www.google.com/search?q=big+...utf-8&oe=utf-8

good set of initial additions. get the powervision from fuel moto and they will give you a good tune for it that has better timing and fueling maps.
your bike will sound very good, look cool and no longer run excessively hot. but it won't be a whole lot faster.
you really should consider the 30/68 or 30/70 pulley upgrade as a 'must have'. sure it's almost a grand but you are buying a bike that comes off the factory floor 10%-13% slower than it should be, and 6th gear is absolutely useless. That is a lot of performance to gain back for the price point, and zero downside. we typically mod our bikes to make them run faster and that is the single best upgrade you can do.
If you feel the handling and braking are poor (nose dive on braking, too much peg scraping, washiness in turns, hard to turn-in at low speed), upgrade the front springs / dampers and put on better tires. another huge transformation in how bike rides and turns- no exaggeration. less than a grand for this set of upgrades.
