  • The Eagle has landed

    Hi Folks

    The rear LHS wheel bearings have arrived! They sent me 49 of them; more than I thought. The package was examined by customs and they imposed a 67c tariff per bearing. This is not, in the scheme of things, a huge amount.

    So, bearings are available on a first come, first served basis and will cost $32 each. Airmail postage to any destination worldwide costs $4.39. Two bearings can travel for the same cost as one, because of the weight categories at the post office. They'll go airmail smallpacket rate and this takes about 10 days worldwide. I can ship to any country, like last time.

    I'll PM everyone who's ordered bearing(s) and give my Paypal details.

    In the first instance, it might be nice if people restricted themselves to a maximum of 2 bearings (unless you really do have more XS1100's than that... understandable!), just to give everyone a chance. Then if there's any left over, I could always post a thread here like last time.

    Greetings to all

    Payments

    Thanks for the payments for the bearings. Just one thing... to be on the safe side, could people please PM their address? I notice on some of the Paypal payments that I've been sent, there is no postal address on them!

    THANKS

        James I tried to pay but PP notice said you arent able to receive through PP.

        Could you please post directions? I tried to find them in old wheel bearing

                Well. I think it was a payment from you! Just to be sure, please PM me your address and I'll double-check. Lots of people have bought them, so I do hope I haven't got you confused with someone else.........
