Topic: New Forum Member - Looking at a CB750 - need guidance

[kyle750]

I just learned that the import Tax/Customs Duties for imported motorbike parts into Thailand is 30% (ouch) plus VAT of 7%.  I will need to focus on buying any Honda CB750 parts needed in Thailand from Thailand sellers.

I bought a NOS ignition switch to my CB750 K2 from a Thai seller on eBay 6 years ago. They/He had some Honda parts.

There are some NOS Honda parts available from Thailand sellers  but not many and not a very good selection.  I did buy the Honda Mirrors from a Thailand Seller at $79 vs US Ebay seller (best price at $67) so in this case paying a little extra and avoiding customs taxes was the best way to go.

From what I have seen both the NOS and Used Honda CB parts available in the USA  are the best selection and also best prices.  I will still continue buying in the USA but will need to be very careful and plan on cost +37%.

Parts might be refilled.

I have found parts that were cheap on eBay USA. I was close to order some an hour ago.
Shipping adds too much. Combined shipping a joke. Not as good as 5-10 years  ago.

VAT + customs usually add +30% , on shipping too.
The USD rate has increased  by + 30% for me in Sweden the last years so very expensive.

I'm happy to have hoardered some parts
Spares needed to be able to repair asap in riding season.
