    That’s not how I read it. I pull the trigger expecting the whole shebang. What is the tariff from Japan ?

      Marty, If you can find one ring set for the Weisco I've got the rest here. Bought it from Carla years ago, and used one set of rings to replace a set on Special Ed's bike when we put the used big bore kit in it. I was going to put it in one bike, then I bought a bored barrel set with pistons from someone on this site. That is going into my engine I'm working on now.

        I sent them a message asking about shipping and tariffs. Of course it is like 4 in the morning there now so might not get a response back until later this evening or tomorrow. I played around with the big bore kit and acted like I was ordering it and the total shipping came to $43.20 to Brandon. Probably the same to you. One thing I did notice though was that they ship via ePacket and when you google that service from Japan it states that as of August 2025 it is no longer exempt from customs and tariffs from Japan. Why I sent them a message asking about the tariffs and such. Will let you know when they respond. By the way from the website concerning the kit:

        *80-81 Yamaha XS1100 Bigbore pistons kit with Head Gasket

          I believe the tariff should be 15%.

            Just received a reply back from Cruzin Image. This was the response I received.

            Thank you for your inquiry.


            Regarding the additional tariffs:

            For purchases made on eBay, the shipping fee already includes the additional customs duties.


            However, for purchases made through our website, all customs duties and any required fees within the United States are not included.

            For this reason, we have suspended shipments to the United States from our website.


            Thank you for your understanding.


            Best regards,

            Mitsuo

            All is not lost though. Just go to Ebay and look up user name cruzinimage_co1484, or just click on here and it will bring you to their Ebay store. You can then just simply do a search for that kit and that buy it now price is the total price excluding taxes. Of course Ebay has to get you on the taxes. I just tried it on Ebay and my total for the kit to Brandon MS would be $248.03. ​
