Getting old is not for wimps
After looking at a thread from a USA member about replacing the upper r.h. cowling, I thought I would take a look at the U.S. spares website. For some parts ot would be cheaper, even with postage and import duty to get some parts from over the pond.
For example from MCP, https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/yamaha-parts/2011-xt1200z-tenere-motorcycles/cowling
The r.h. lower cowling, the one that covers the electrics, £295, plus if you need them the 4 fasteners and washers, another £48. In the U.S. $140 the lot (the fan side cover is also shown as £295, without the grills) Not everything is overpriced, pretty much the same, but am I reading it wrong, or is this extortionate?
