Anyone know where I can pick up a set of Rizomas in Australia? Not up for paying the $50 shipping from the US and having to wait 2 weeks....

Thanks

You'll get them from this guy in VIC
I don't know if he keeps much stock, you might well have to wait for them also.

Have you tried www.pjsparts.com
or my latest fav place www.revercorsa.com
then there is always everyone's fav, www.monsterparts.com

With the $ almost reaching parity buying in the US has never been better.

To elaborate some more on mattys post.....

The reason we use the US vendors is that there seems to be no one in Australia who actively distributes a lot of things such as Rizoma, and I for one, don't blame them, it's just too small a market.

Long Version: So people who are local and distribute do the same as you would, but perhaps get a slightly better price (and only perhaps!) and can be more competitive on the shipping. And so, you'll end up still waiting, and almost invariably paying more, as the importer will be taking a gamble on the currency and shipping costs, and therefore passes to on to you.. not to mention making a margin on the sale....

Short Version: Buying in the US will be as short a wait as any other and will typically be cheaper

They are not Rizoma's but look identical in every way....I wouldn't be surprised if they both come out of the same factory.

I purchased a set for my bike (broke one of the Rizoma's that I had on the bike...dont ask!) & I cant tell the difference.....& they are much cheaper anyway!

Cheers

They are either Oberon's or copies of them, Rizoma doesn't make anything like that.
I know because I have a pair of Rizoma's and a pair of Oberon's in the spare's draw.

Opps!  Yep your right....got my brands mixed up!

Too many goodies on the market to choose from!

Hey Matty, didnt you have (or still have) a set of Rizoma's for sale??

Yea I've checked most US sites, just thought $50 for shipping was extortion. Might have no other option.... Thanks guys

mattyvas

Where have you been shopping that $50 is the shipping cost?
