G'day. I have one of the surplus 09 TXC 450's that PFG in Australia brought over from the US. It was an upgrade ffrom an 07 TE450. Great bike so far with around 24 hours on it, 18 of those at the Australian 4 day enduro in April, where it didn't miss a beat. Like all of the '09's, the stickers started to peel on the first ride. These are supposed to be being replaced under warranty, but i have been waiting a good long while for them and am getting tired of my 'new' bike looking tatty. Looked into the '10 shrouds with integrated graphics. They are AU$150 here, which is about is about $130 at the current exchange rate. What are the guys in the US paying for them? I'm getting a bit sick of getting shafted with the cost of genuine parts. I know we need to be taxed for living in the best country in the world, but a hundred and fifty big ones for a couple of pieces of plastic......c'mon! I'd buy a graphics kit but they're even more expensive and I'm yet to see one that I really like other than the Ringmaster Images one's and they are the best part of 350 beans: http://www.ringmasterimages.com.au/...0StandardSeries/HusqvarnaSyndicateSeries.aspx
Thanks Joe for the quick response. Not worth getting them shipped then I guess. Decisions, decisions....
The 2009 stickers pealed real fast. I was also losing mine on the first ride. 2010 shrouds are sweet. Its worth getting. I just need the 2010 side covers now.
If you can, I'd be all over them, but only if they had the imbedded graphics. I have seen the stickered versions here: http://www.husky.com.au/html/products/parts/parts.htm#frame At au$200, they'd want to make me 10 x as fast!
