WTB: GT500 charge coil

[drøn]

I think the title says it all.
I need a charge coil for at GT 500, or a cheap source. I live in Copehagen, Denmark.
Thank you.

The charge coil is still available from US Suzuki. Some retailers ship overseas. Don't know how their prices compare to what you can get in Europe. Here are two sources:

BikeBandit lists one of the charge coils. Coil costs $51 US.

Their online ordering system should tell you what the shipping charges are before you place the order:

Babbit's lists both charge coils. Coil costs $45 US.

You would have to contact them because their online system isn't set up for international orders.

Update...

Downside of buying from a US retailer is that it will take a while. Plus there's the international shipping charge.

Upside is that the part is cheaper.
Crooks in the UK lists the charging coil at £47 + 20% VAT. If you have to pay VAT, that's equivalent to $ 90 US.

Wow. Thanks a lot. You're really doing a lot of research for me.
I have to pay VAT for goods from the US, but not from UK/EU.
The cheapest, I have found in EU is €68 with shipping. here http://www.cmsnl.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Wouldn't have expect that, but governments seem to do a lot of thinks I wouldn't expect.

I think I got it wrong. It's customs not VAT. Maybe...
