Two Day Shipping from the U.K. to Minnesota!!?

[Squishman]

I ordered a couple of parts for my Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor Sunday night from Hitchcock's Motorcycles LTD. located in England. I got the DHL tracking number Monday afternoon. They arrived today! That is just crazy fast! I wonder if with the first class shipping if they offered the package a glass of wine or cheese and crackers. Probably not.
In case anyone is curious, I ordered exhaust headers and a Booster Plug, which is an upgrade for the EFI. I figured with the Zard racing mufflers that I installed that I really should change out the stock headers which have catalytic crap in them too.

I would call you a lucky guy.

Here's why European postal services are suspending U.S. deliveries

European shippers like DHL are pausing services to the U.S. as the de minimis tax loophole ends and Trump administration tariffs take hold.

Those seats very comfortable? I see those on some old bikes.

Well yeah. I get to put this stuff on about 10 days earlier than I thought!

It is a Royal Enfield made seat, but it's an upgrade. The original owner put that on. Never sat on an original seat. But I believe it's stiffer foam, which is waay better for comfort than squishy foam. I believe it's a touring seat. Never looked into what it is actually. But a lot of my previous bikes, I would upgrade the seat with Corbin and some other brands to get firmer foam. The Corbins were like a horse saddle. You don't want to slide of course. So I would also get it cut just right, so no slide and terrific for long rides. This one is not nearly as firm as the Corbins. But I like it.

This bike is a 2021. Some folks think it's a restored classic.
