For the discriminating buyer, this set of Collectible lids has been around the world: literally. The designs and paint on them were done for WheezyRider upon return. Not only are these in superb condition, but the art work was done and signed by Ron Gibbs (do your research, he's known as the second Ed Roth). From, and meant for, a black Goldwing, in years 2001 to 2010, these are not only excellent lids, but they will be, at some point, be worth a LOT of money. Ron is famous, and your research will bear out the masterful work he does. Mechanically and aesthetically excellent, I found one tiny scuff that can (guaranteed) be cut out with a minimal effort without damaging the very thick clear-coat, and under the right light you will see the hand-painted print of the person's website for whom these were custom painted. the designs ere taken from pictures taken around the world, depicting various places the bike went to. They also can be cut-polished easily to make them disappear, and again without damaging the finish on iota. This is one rarely fine, and just plain RARE set of saddle bag lids. They are monsters to pack, and will be packed as well protected and insured, so the shipping may come by FexEx or UPS, or Canada Post if the cost is reasonable. As to the costs of the lids, stock from Honda, well you are no doubt aware that they are, including the bottom moldings and center moldings: over $800US EACH. To have them removed, sent to Mr Gibbs,finished, shipped back and re-placed: reported to be over $2500. Because the black NH stock paint is merely a frame-work for the art-work, I think these will look great on just about any color GL1800, including orange, gray, dark blue, or red. Your call on that.
USA REQUIRED TARIFFS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PRICE, NO duties due at delivery
PLEASE NOTE: Regardless whether the part attracts a tariff or not, we have REDUCED ALL PRICING, so there are some extremely good deals happening. The USA Admin requires a postal shipment tariff-tax, a customs brokerage fee, and a per item Customs document admin fee.
The costs, when they apply, must paid BY THE SELLER ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER, on ALL goods shipped into the USA. It is USA law, and is effectively a tax on all products bought from outside the USA, whether those products were made in the USA or not.
OTHERS: PLEASE NOTE :
All customers outside of the USA who are buying "TARIFFED" items on the Straightwings site WILL BE REFUNDED 10% of the ITEM PRICE to remove those added costs, after purchase, based on your country which is not the USA.
Just buy what you need and remind us to refund the amount as above.
It is a very expensive and time-costly effort for us to help all *Goldwingers* to obtain often-rare parts when you are in the USA, but as well to be fair to all the buyers in outside the USA who are not subjected to that tariff/tax: but I will NOT desert my USA clients. I have worked hard for 25 years to make available quality parts which aid Goldwing riders world wide. While the tariffs are most unfortunate between neighbours, the parts we sell are still great parts, properly assessed, at the fairest price possible. I hope all my USA customers understand this, and continue to patronize StraightWings, a premier Goldwing quality used parts site.
