Now I want to order parts for 1300 USD from USA and I will pay customs duty in europe almost 500usd
No problem. Just send me the $1,300 Dollars and I'll help you out.
The Import Duty Tax on auto/motorcycle parts for Poland is 15%. So, 15% of $1,300 is $195, not $500. See.. I've saved you $305 already, told you I'd help! Hahaha
were they the slim line regular shocks or air? i am looking for a set of just the regular shocks.... Like you said get the stuff while you can!! they would be just a spare set for me! i was just lucky enough to find an 80 spoke front wheel finally! was on back order since Christmas.
Air...only one set.
I don’t believe Tim is rebuilding shocks anymore. He did my Worx shocks once. But the last time I tried to contact him I didn’t get any response. I’m thinking they pulled the plug on the business.
I know it appears that we are ever so slowly running out of support options and suppliers. However, having just gone through the whole Rebuild process, I was able to locate everything I needed, or wanted (Except a Belt Drive). This includes the latest search for an Air Shock). Now, it certainly wasn't easy, and there's not a vendor that has it all, but it's out there... SOMEWHERE. I'll admit that I did do a little bit of 'Panic Buying', fearing that I may never have another opportunity later on a few items. But, I only ended up with a couple of 'extras' that I didn't have to buy. Also, as more time passes, more of these older dogs will get scrapped out on ebay. Even hope to find that elusive Belt Drive eventually! Also, some may feel that 'The ship has sailed' on the popularity of BIG DOG STYLE Bikes. Ha! I say that's crap! This style has gone in and out of popularity for 75 years now. I personally get 5 year old kids to 95 year old granny's that want their pictures taken with the bike. So, I think we'll be just fine.
Question: On the Air ride Shocks, is the smaller shock simply a stock BIG DOG Shock?

The parts for auto/motyorcycle it is 3 to 4.5 % but duty tax ( VAT) 23% depends on the customs officer = shiping coast

Second Chance Customs
I agree everything is fads...but fads come back...the bagger big wheel fad is nearing the end and the choppers fade is coming back.
I have a good friend in Nevada that build choppers and he also works on big dogs and american ironhorse. We talk pretty frequently about some bikes he is working asking my opinion what I think maybe wrong with it or where he can get some of the hard to find parts....He sold his highest price chopper he ever built last year for little over 70,000...he has been telling me and telling me the chopper style fad is back on the west coast and he is seeing more and more bikes and he is building more than ever...
Just like the jet boat fad that was in the 70s and early 80s ...that fad has been back for 5 or 6 years now and its growing crazily...just sold my jet boat last year for more than double what I had in it...i wished I had more of them to sell ha ha..
I saw all that too bro...your whole post looks like BS...that's why the terse response. The math doesn't add up to $500 or even close. Try harder next time.
Right on! Like I was saying, 5 - 95 year olds don't need HOT BIKE MAGAZINE to tell them what's cool...they KNOW IT WHEN THEY SEE IT! In my opinion, Bid Dog is the Baddest (performance), and Coolest (design), production bike ever made. Show bikes that you can ride every day.
Hydrostatic Pressure Fuel Gauge
Anyone familiar with this setup? I only ask in reference to earlier conversations about gauge options. GLOW SHIFT offers an amazing array of gauges that you can CHANGE colors on, also Digital needles. Furthermore, they offer several Dual Gauges. Example, a single gauge could display both (Air Pressure/Oil Pressure), (Oil Temp/Ambient Temp) etc. Dual gauges have Dual sensors. Just thinking....

Correct WORX, that’s what I was referring too about rebuilding. Last I heard they stopped that too.
One of the other facinating characteristics of the GLOW SHIFT gauges is that you essentially have an electronic gauge WITHOUT complicated electronics. A simple example/comparison is an oil pressure gauge. With an analog oil pressure gauge, you connect the oil line to the gauge and you're done. Now, if you wanted to go a step further with Dual gauges, and both having Dual displays (4 Gauge Display) ...suddenly you have a mess with oil Lines, Air lines, and electrical wiring, etc. However, the GLOW operates differently. Using the oil pressure gauge example again, an oil line isn't required with the GLOW. An electronic sensor connects at the same place you would normally connect the oil line (Tappet Screen or Oil Sensor), from there, only wire is routed to the gauge. The gauge is simply a Display Screen. The same process is used with air (Air Ride). No air line connects to the gauge. So, you could potentially have a the Display of 4 gauges, in a Dual Gauge Mount, and all the wiring in a single routed (mostly hidden) configuration. With a dozen or more potential uses (displays), including the Hydrostatic sensor for fuel, suddenly OUR bikes have abilities previously reserved for Harleys with large fairings or complicated electronics. Also, with the 7-Color, changeable screen, you can match these digital gauges to your Dakota Digital. Now, I'm not saying that I'm going to do this, all I'm saying is that I now see ALOT of potential that didn't exist before. We generally have to adopt only the accessories that are offered by the vendors, it would be great to create something original, unique, and that really looks great.
i looked for the LSK set up for Hydrostatic fuel gauge and it said it was out of production. However found an ultrasonic sender that sticks to bottom outside of tank but wonder how much of it would be seen...the brain box would definitely fit up to bottom of back bone, then was thinking of milling the top of air filter cover to put in a LED strip light. 4 green 3 amber 2 red Last red would pulse. with that wouldn't have to worry about where to mount gauge.
