Oil seal kit
DomP:
Isn't there an unknown import charge when buying from Cruizinimage though?

No, but you could be unlucky.
Oddjob:
There is a chance of import duty but there's also a chance of none.
I've had a few packages from Japan recently and only one got import charges. It's a chance you take, saying that, the difference in quality might be worth taking that chance, I can't say, don't have any experience between the DS pistons and Cruzinimage pistons, I do know the latter are rated quite highly.
Just done a few sums, 4 pistons from DS are £152 inc P&P. 4 pistons from Cruzin are £109 inc P&P. That's £41 difference, not sure import duties would be as high as that considering the value of the parts. Plus goods ordered from a retailer in a foreign country are reputably exempt from import duties if the value is £135 or less.
DomP:
You've convinced me Ken, ordered from Cruizinimage so we'll see if I get charged import tax but as you say its worth the risk
DomP:
I bought this seal kit (POSK CB500F) from ds but it doesn't contain the clutch arm seal as well as a few others just so people know. Annoyingly they don't do a 550 kit.
