Triumphrat

neale · 12-09-2005

Hello and seasons greetings, does anyone know of a shop or dealer who can supply me the rentec luggage rack that I often see on sites on the net, I am after someone here in Australia as I have no experience on internet shopping and I'm a bit wary of it. Also does anyone have any experience or opinions on the flyscreen that Triumph offers for my bonnie, I had my local dealer quote me $380 Australian, definetly not cheap, thanks in advance, neale.

Hey Neale, I got a Renntec rack through the net via Newbonneville.com, or Bellacorsa I think - it is excellent, and there was no hassle getting it. However, in the last couple of weks or so I notice that Thunderbike in Nelson, NZ, are offering a similar sort of rack. Their stuff is reputedly very good, they do numerous parts for new Triumphs. The advantage I thought of for our part of the world is that freight wouldn't be much - they may even ship to Australasia free I don't know; anyway check their website cheers mate, DrP

OK mate, here's the site:

It is NZ $395 + $25 postage to Oz. Would usually be good for Oz buyers I guess, But the NZ$ is unusually high at the moment - cheers DrP

Hey Neale,

I'm on the North Shore (Willoughby) and have ordered all my bits and pieces from N.B. and other overseas suppliers (on-line) without any problems. (used a Visa card for payment)

I believe we are allowed something like $1500 worth of goods imported before any sort of duty/tax is applied (but with all the small stuff, I wouldn't think customs would be adding it up each and every time?)

Got my bars from Thunderbike(NZ) as well - good service, excellent products all around.

Cheers

Neale, I have a Ventura rack/bag Bonnie Bag but with Rally Pack around $350.
I have also purchased gear from Bellacorse, New Bonneville and Mototwin have found all to excellent to deal with. In Aus I have also bought shocks/springs from Ikon over the phone.
