Maybe they've set it up with UPS and are doing it in house, no idea really, but it works for me here with limited options.

They have always sent to me using UPS with tracking available. The shipping is never cheap but the duties and taxes calcs are done right and I dont really have too many options in this part of the world, even some Thai suppliers wont ship here, why ? I don't know.

Thanks a lot, SOHC models, great bikes aren't they, I really miss mine sometimes.
