I had Beadrider "seat cushions" on my two previous ST1300s and consider them the best. I bought direct from Beadrider in the past but now they say they will only ship within USA because of difficulties with overseas shipping. Has anyone any idea how I could get a Beadrider here in England?
Beadrider not available outside USA

You might check into what shipping would cost. Some of our Canadian friends have said that shipping from the US to Canada (for Honda parts) can be prohibitively expensive. If the cost is not exorbitant perhaps one of our members will buy one and ship it to you.
Good News! I spoke with Chris at Beadrider and he confirmed his reluctance to ship outside US because of complications with other countries import regulations, import duty, etc. I was able to ease his concerns somewhat by pointing out that I have purchased two separate items from USA-based companies this year who used USPS with no difficulty.
Chris agreed to send a Beadrider and it was despatched 4th October. I am happy to report it arrived with me today. Result!!

That's great customer service! And pretty decent delivery time for a package shipped internationally. The time from here to there isn't usually a problem. Getting through Customs is often tricky even if no duties are levied. Some shippers like DHL seem to finesse packages through. I've seen complaints of long delivery times for bits from China but have never had any.
