I have a 2004 Harley Sportster XL1200R here in the Philippines. Unfortunatly there are no H-D dealerships here.

I can't ride my bike because of a broken clutch cable.

I will be visiting Bangkok next week for period of 3 weeks. I called the Harley-Davidson Bangkok dealership to see if they had a replacment clutch cable. Didn't seem like anyone in the parts department could speak English, but after finally getting them to understand the H-D part number for the cable, they said it was not in stock.

Anyway, is there any other motorcycle shops in Bangkok that sell replacement cables from companies such as Custom Chrome or Drag Specialties?

I do have P/Ns for these aftermarket companies ... if anyone in Bangkok can get parts like that.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Ron, (Philippines)

Thank's everyone for the replies. I did call Big Twin Thailand a call, but no answer.

I got an email from Harley-Davidson Bangkok. Said they will order the cable. Cost is 3,800 baht ($115 USD) ... The MSRP from H-D in the US is $40 (1,320 baht) ... BIG difference! :)

Ron,

Packing and shipping costs, customs duty, exise tax and VAT here in Thailand. It all adds up. Nobody buys motorcycle parts here unless they absolutely have to.

Ron,

even if they add $ 300 for sh&h (it should fit nicely into the smallest flat rate Priority Mail box @ $ 12.95), you should come ahead ordering abroad.

Try neighboring country H.D. dealerrships? How about Singapore, if time is of the essence?

just order it from the States. much easier.

How high the import tax in the Phillipines? in LOS=30% plus shipping, so it all ads up and takes time.
