I agree, but a re-paint alone will set you back around £650 to £850, I believe.

How about
- get tbe bike finished but needing side-panels and tank painting
- give bike a 2 minute blowover with Halfords rattle can in approx the right colour; ensure logbook matches the colour
- book in with Menno
- book a weeks hols in Holland and ride over
- leave bike to be painted
- enjoy a week spending money saved on customs and taxes on beer and herrings.
- ride home

I just paid £400 to get just the tank done on Chewy but its a fantastic job and feels like glass so well chuffed. I hear you though.

I really don't want to spoil great plans.
And I do like a road trip...., however...

I live in Germany.
550 kilometers from Calais straight to the right... say 140 km right of Luxembourg city.

Import tarifs on packages are aprox. 25%  to 40% on the total value of the package.
Again, AuSTrian authorities brewing their own soup...
Import taxes: 20% + 5% (VAT + handling fees) on the charged amount (which includes any already paid VAT and the shipment costs)
If items are not classifiable for import taxes (and they look hard), a minimum of € 35,- (handling fees) will be charged anyway...
(happened on a set of used ST1100 front calipers from Norway, declared as "scrap"...)

At the moment DS is the only UK source I can only order at, they charge the/our 20% VAT upon checkout...

This chap, Tim

He couldn’t have been easier to deal with and his workshop was full of old vintage stuff to be painted. He’s renowned  for being a perfectionist and a lovely bloke with it, really happy with the result it’s brilliant

He was pretty busy when I went in and he said 5 weeks but did it in 6. He was on the phone with updates etc and was a joy to deal with. If you call him tell him you got his details off the forum through me would you, he’s bloody good.
