Drew,
I import parts from the UK (disitrbutor for Scorpion Racing, QT Services and other UK based companies). We ship everything over by boat using Woodland International. It takes a week to ship from the UK to East Coast USA (NJ). A few more days to clear customs.
We end up paying around 10 cents (US) a pound (US lb) plus duty and a few other fees. I guess if your bike is around 500 lbs you would end up paying about U$S 650-700. I'd have to check with our shipping company but that's my estimate.
If I can help in any way please feel free to contact me (JohnC at 4x4ag dot com).
Good luck.
