Now I understand why we sold 9 kits to USA in one week !
Thanks to all, especially Matt, George and Alan for the orders, and Mike Rieck for the kind words about our kit's quality.
I have to tell you the story of these kits : I am a fan of the 60's and 70's Honda bikes and like to restore them to the highest original standards. I met another crazy guy, like me, on a French Honda forum, and we tried to find a solution about the CB750 and Goldwing primary damper rubbers that are not available from Honda.
This another crazy guy, Jean, worked all his life for Renault, one of the greatest car's manufacturers in France. Now retired, like me, he knew very well all the subcontractors of Renault as he was Quality Manager. He contacted a specialist in France, established technical specifications and quality controls. Then we had to pay the mould, very expensive, and launched a first batch of 20 kits. Tests made on our CB750 were excellent and we sold the other kits to forum friends.
Today we have sold more than 100 kits and made last year some improvement, especially concerning rubber's diameter : + 0.15 mm in the aim to reduce the operating clearance.
About shipping cost : each kit weighs 0.110 kg, shipping from France to USA by Colissimo (French Post service) with tracking and insurance is as follows :
- under 0.5 kg : €23.70 - OK for 1 to 3 kits + packaging
- under 1 kg : €26.30 - OK for 4 to 7 kits + packaging
- under 2 kg : €36.10 - OK for 8 to 17 kits + packaging
About paypal : it seems that paying from US to France by "friends and family" system is free of charge if you have cash on your account. If you pay by CC, there is near 4% fee for us.
Please ask before paying as Jean in Paris and me in Lyon had our own stock, so you have to pay Jean or me, not the same acccount
A last word : as we are retired and not professional sellers, we have no margin on these kits when we sell them at 87€, that's the reason why we ask 4% more for paypal fee
You can contact me at honda60.70s*gmail.com, it's easier for me as I receive the mails directly on my mobile phone, I prefer emails than MP on the forum
Cheers
