Rip off DSS
AshimotoK0:
To be honest, every time I have seen a disparity in prices I have phoned them, moaned about it and got the USA price ..or even when CMS have a Genuine item listed a lot cheaper they have matched it.

Just looked at 5 random items for CB500 in the £20 to £150 range. All are cheaper on UK site before tax. (2-4%). USA has sales tax. For items sold internally within Pennsylvania it is 6% + 2% I think.
I also have bargained with DS if an item is cheaper via CMSNL. Has to be something pricey as delivery makes a big difference from the Netherlands.

No ..'cos totally different situation altogether ...Silver and CMS have a reciprocal selling arrangement. So some stuff on CMS is on DS site as 'Special order' and CMS definitely sell DS's stuff .. as I know to my cost, as they tried to sell me a CB250 NOS exhaust that was wrongly marked by DS so I returned it but then it re-appeared on CMS ..still with the wrong part number.
By the way, I bought a genuine set of new CB750 fork gaiters from Yamiya about two years ago and one of the bu*ggers has split already, even though it's fitted to the forks but never been used. My 1969 originals are still split-free but a bit hard at the top. Might try softening them.

Hi Graham
Nice one thank you for bring it to the forum it seems we will all have to barterer a better price from DS now that its out that his site in the USA is cheaper and its classed as "Stock Transfer" so no import / export taxes ! ! ! Or get a a larger order shipped from the USA and split shipping & taxes here in uk between us ????
