custums tax sucks. I bought a set of risers, cost 50 quid or less. then got a £13.58 custums charge on top  :bawl:
I'm sane, honestly. . . I got a certificate to prove it!

Thanks for that. If my Panniers cost 500 notes then I would need to pay a fair bit to customs. don't think it Will be worth it
