thanks for the info, I sure this is going to be harder than I anticipated, I'm in the Military, moving from germany back to Canada. The bike is getting loaded with the rest of my house hold furniture put on a boat, and shipped to canada. I have no idea what port my shippment is getting into, it could take 30-40 days for my stuff to come, I'm entitled to some of the purchase price being tax free, it's going to be a mess....I do thank you for your help, but I'm not sure it's going to help. where do i get the compliance form is that the RIV FEE? and I saw on the deeley site i need to apply for a recall status letter. and What does a tire have to do with any of this?
