I just took the blind plunge and ordered the BMW side cases... in Asphalt Gray. Neither I nor my local dealership were able to access any photos that show the color shade. It appears that it may be a bit darker than the original silver/gray color, but I can't be sure until I see them live. It should definitely be a different shade, though, as the product numbers are different. Time will tell. |

Zitat von BusBoy11 im Beitrag #1 I have not heard of lids being available in Asphalt Grey, normally they are Granite Grey. Asphalt Grey is the color of the valve covers.

The bags retail at $550 apiece at my local shop. I should definitely come out way ahead, and don't believe that I will be paying any import taxes on this side, but time will tell. I ordered some helmets a number of years ago and didn't have any issue in that regard. |

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #7= 477 Euros Formidable - then I hope you can (at 50 euros transport costs) really save about 2 * 170 $. I'm curious if it worked.

Here is the order and prices. Obviously I had a couple of extra items on the list, but you can see the prices they charged me. I was able to save a considerable amount because they removed the VAT. I really hope that the shipping charges don't exceed the amount that I saved on the VAT.

I also ordered my bags from Europe but used a different vendor. Got mine from |

Kfm-motorraeder.de sent me an email today saying that all of the parts I ordered have been delivered to them from BMW Motorrad, except the asphalt gray pannier cases. They gave an estimated date of 06 August. I'm wondering if they are simply not available until then. |
