I knew I should have saved the return email that Harris Performance sent me, but I didn't. Yep, it worked out to $307.65 USD. There's a war going on, the price of fuel has effected everyone in all industries and maybe Harris didn't want the hassle of boxing up that hugger and making sure it made it safe to the US. There can be a number of reasons why the cost is so high, but regardless that was the price they quoted. I should ask them to refigure that and I can show you. If I lived in England I would have one by now.
Plus, it's £125 (excludes the VAT) = $163.37 for a Carbon Fibre hugger. That's the one I was going to purchase. It's £85 for an ABS hugger. Okay, I just placed another order with Harris Performance for the Carbon Fiber hugger for "VFR800 FI 02-15 (ABS & Non-ABS) Rear hugger with built-in chain guard - Carbon Fibre × 1" to find out what the shipping and total cost would be. You don't need to pay up front. They send you an email with the total cost to the US and you have the right to accept or decline it.
I looked into this as well. But, of course, it's in the UK and we all know how that turned out.
