Hi, if you are struggling to find a speedo for your bike try searching on yahoo Japan - they don't use ebay. There are some strange rules about foreigners using the site & you may have to set up an account with a proxy company - I have been using "From Japan" (fj). Once you are set up you can bid or buy as if it was direct. You need to be careful because parts will cost you more than the seller's price! Some items are sold "excluding tax" - Japanese domestic tax is 10%. Then there is domestic shipping to the proxy warehouse - again, check the ad wording for both of these. The proxy outfit charges a small fixed fee for each transaction & will hold items for a while so you can combine the international postage if you want other parts & can't find them at the same time. FJ will hold stuff for 45 days & that has been useful for me. When you decide to ship, they will give you all available options & you will need to factor-in import duties to USA. Sounds complicated but it's okay when you get used to it & there are a hell of a lot of parts there that I can't find anywhere else. Good luck!

That seems pretty complicated.
