Get them to ship the package labeled "motorcycle parts" and then they will not charge you duty. Or get it shipped to the nearest US address and go there and pick it up. Most places offer FREE shipping within the US. What are you looking for? I know that tires are duty free. For gear try www.imotorcyclestore.com or www.newenough.com or www.mawonline.com

If you use Knee Draggers (http://www.kneedraggers.com) they don't consider Canada as international shipping. :wink: So they usually don;t have a problem. I race with a couple of guys from Detriot and Victoria Can. (I think it's victoria right across the bridge I forget)

Anyway they don't complain about KneeDraggers. Also if you buy from them, put my email address in the comments field and you should get the referral rate.

Yeah you're right... it is Windsor, eh. They all look the same to me. J/K all except Toronto.. that's the one with pot right?

I've been buying stuff off KD for a while now. They've always had good prices, quick shipping, and really really good knowledge. They can troublehsoot like nobodies business.

I crashed out a few days before going on the road for some races and needed a new helmet. They took down a list of stops and hotels I'd be at along the way, figured out when they could get a helmet to any of places, and they sent it to the hotel to meet me at the 2nd stop of my trip.

Super Guys. And ifyou do something boneheaded like order brakes and only order one set. They'll call you and remind you "hey you do know your bike has two front calipers so you want to buy two sets of brakes right?". I mean little stuff that could be handled poorly, they just don't do. And believe me, I've had places send me one set of brakes and then I have to call and order another pair to finish the job and waste more time in shipping. Not a good thing to try to explain to customers. :wink:

Oh and I sent you a PM.
