What was the time frame in shipping as well? Thx in advance This will by no means answer your question as I'm in Oz - but be aware that non-EU buyers are exempt from the EU VAT (sales tax) which at around 19% (or more) currently gives a very good cost-saving that offsets at least some of the shipping and other costs. As a long-term BAGSTERER (I've had a few, on 2 x MT-09s and a 900 GT, and now a new one on my MT-09 SP) I can say that a BAGSTER seat is a vast improvement over stock on almost any bike, and well worth the dosh. Some EU dealers (motostorm.it, chromeburner, others) have various models of the BAGSTER range in-stock for more-or-less immediate shipping, but if you order one custom-made from BAGSTER it will obviously take a little longer - unless shipped via the Suez Canal!

What was the time frame in shipping as well? Thx in advance I am in Quebec city. I ordered a Bagster Ready Luxe with Bultex from Silverstone (France) back in January 2020. At that time, the seat was 295€, there was a 10% new year discount (29€), then they added 53€ for oversea shipping, for a total of 320€. As wordsmith stated, no sales tax. If my memory serves me right, I think I had ~60 CAD « surprise » when the delivery guy knocked on my door. Still well worth it, really like the seat. As for the time frame, sorry I cannot help. I ordered it in January, all I remind is that I received it well in advance before the riding season, which began early April for me last year.

Abler Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I do. From Ontario, this feb. no extra fees for me but I got the pillion for the tracer and the pillion seat for a Kawasaki. After a couple emails and a phone call they agreed it was a screw up and said they were out of stock so I should return for a refund. Haven’t seen the money yet, hoping it shows up in next couple weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will have stock by then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
