If I could get a new set of tires for $637 installed here,I'd be getting a new set every month.....lol

 

Could not find a battery equivalent on the entire island of Bahrain. The closest was at the Sea-Doo dealer but the dimensions were too tall. So H-D got me on that one. Oil is easy to find (imagine that!) but MC oil is not that prevalent. That is why I asked the Yamalube question. My next alternative was to get some "C" rated diesel engine oil. Liqui-Moly seems to be a popular brand here in the Middle East. Thanks for the replies.....

 

What cost diff if you ordered supplies online and have it shipped to you oversees? Even if it was close you wouldn't be putting $ into the pockets of thieves like them.

 

Don't feel to bad New tires and brake pads for my 08 CVO Road King here at the local dealer in Bridgewater Ma. $986.00 good thing i had a tube of Vaseline handy.

 

Any 20/50 oil will do if you run dino oil, or mobile one 15-50 will do also, if you are using synthetic just don't put it in the primary because of friction modifiers are not good for the clutch.

 

HIgher prices are typical for international purchases. We must be a bit lucky here in Australia now but we payed through the nose when the aussie dollar was down.

Since early 2012 HD Australia knocked 17% off P&A thanks to the stronger dollar. I got a set of tyres installed $520 USD equivalent.

Bike purchases are a different story though, with import tax, govt. tax, registration ($1200) initially then $500/yr! and the tax on the tax it feels like.
Example-- new FLHTCU lists $36,500 but can deal it down to~$32,000 including on road registration as a end year run out!

 

Delo should be fine to use. Those diesels pulling a load in the heat survive.
