Hoping its OK that I pass this info along to you guys on here... I just ordered my FE from Evotech, its regularly 64.99 pounds, when I went to checkout it was almost 10 off, at 55.31 pounds. So saved me like $15. Not a LOT, I know, but better than a kick in the @ss. Thought I'd share in case anyone was thinking about ordering one soon |

Where did you buy it from?? And how do you pay with american dollars if there price is in pounds? I always leave a site as soon as I see that just because I don't know how that all works |

I bought it off of Evotech's website. I paid via PayPal. They have a currency converter right on their site, when you get to the shopping cart, to convert GBP to USD for you to see. 55.31 GBP is 82.74US right now |

I was willing to pay for it, and it was what I wanted, so I didn't get "hosed". And no, I did not get charged VAT, it comes off the shopping cart as soon as you say you're not in the UK. |

I dont know how long shipping will be... the orders I placed for my SV back in the day took less than 2 weeks to get to me if I recall correctly. Not too shabby. |

Oh- and yeah, the plate does hang lower... I clicked back and forth between pics of the Evotech and the Jardine. But the Evotech has the little plate light in between, which is why its lower. I thought the Jardine was a bit too high for me, RIGHT under the light, but I guess thats personal preference. I found the wiring underneath looks neater with the evotech as well. |

I've bought plenty of stuff off Badweb sponsors in the UK, shipping time was always relatively quick (just under a week). Exchange rate can be a bit of a bitch. You shouldn't be charged any VAT as you are international. Perhaps we can talk American Sport Bike or another sponsor to become an Evotech dealer, that way we can reduce shipping times and costs. |

We sell Evotech tail tidies for the 1125 bikes here http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/282.html The export price is £55.30 so youpaid the correct price. We try to keep these in stock so shipping usually just a few days. |

Well I just received an email that they've shipped mine, like 18 hours after ordering, so thats a good sign. Airmail should get it here pretty quickly. Trojan, do you sell the plate adapters as well? If I had known I would have bought from you |

Plate adapters are included free for US orders Sometimes we may forget to put them in the box (they are only needed for US plates) so if you don't get any just remind me and I'll mail some over. |
