  • Parts Overseas Mail Order

    Hello there,
    I have been working in Southeast Asia for the past few years and on return to Australia recently find that the few XS parts that were still sitting on the shelves in the late 90s seem pretty much to have all dried up - and there is a new generation of parts guys whose life began with R1s......and who really are not all that interested in "old" bikes....

    Right at the moment I'm looking for an K&N filter for the stock airbox (XS1100E) which does not seem to be in stock locally.

    Any recommendations for a USA based company which has XS1100 replacement parts (like the K&N filter) and who is good to deal with from overseas? (I've had a look through the Partsnmore website but they don't seem to do airfilters - although there's a swag of their stuff that I need to get at some time....)

        Try a search at K&N for an Oz based agent.

        I got mine at the local Harley dealer They had to order it in from the US, which took about a month. They even knew what they were talking about

        You can think of a lightning bolt as essentially a really really big bug zapper. Unfortunatey, we're the bugs.

          But did you have to be called Bruce? The Poms will tear strips off us. And not only that, you're New Bruce!!!!!

              Here's the cheapest one I could find in an Ebay "worldwide" search..

              K&N Filter

              There are at least 5 to be had, 4 from USA suppliers and 1 from UK...

              And see... No Monty Pythonesque cracks either...

              I'm sorry... I have a cold...!

                Rocket Industries.

                G'day New Bruce,

                I emailed Rocket Industries here in Australia and here's what they sent me back

                "You can either pay direct deposit or by credit card.

                If its direct deposit I will have the order packed then get back to you with
                an exact total including freight.Then simply transfer the amount into our
                bank account and fax or email the reciept to us.

                If its by credit card you will need to fill in the credit card form on our
                website and fax it in along with a copy of your drivers license.

                KNYA-1400 MC AIR FILTER YAM XS1100 78-83
                $67.88 inc

                Regards, Rob Waugh (Sales) Rocket Industries"

                It's a wonder they don't want a full DNA profile as well.

                I'd go with eBay, far less pissing about and about the same dollars.
