https://www.cybike.co.uk/Cybike are offering a 10% Discount and they sell Yamiya stuff. Might be worth calling them.
Cheers James will have a look at that. Does the Yamiya tank come ready to fit with the chrome strips etc or are they extra's.
I regularly order from Yamiya and pay in Japanese Yen. I have an account with Wise (and a debit card) where you get the actual exchange rate and pay a small fee. Last time I ordered a tank set I saved probably £30-40 in bank exchange rate fees. You can similarly pay for stuff from Europe in Euros etc…Worth looking at - if you do join then feel free to use the link below (yes I do get a credit if you join lol)..https://wise.com/invite/i/jamesh587

They are now asking for 34,000 JPY, or around £225 on which I will then have to pay 20% VAT making it around £270 just for the postage for the tank which is getting a bit silly!!!!!!!!!Can you, or anybody else who has actually had deliveries from Yamyia, please advise your/their own experience?
Or get it all from Menno in one hit as he often has kits for sale in stock? It may represent a best value, least hassle solution?
The tax and postage on just a full set of shells for my CB750 from Yamiya was eye watering enough, but sometimes you have no choice these days.An alternative to the body kit may be to do what I did - ordered a new replica tank and side panels from David Silver, and had them posted straight to Menno to work his magic. It worked out very well, but it was before the 'B' word that shall not be mentioned.
