Anyone flying into Ecuador soon?

Hey guys, I have been looking for crash bars for quite a while and now a week and a half after my parents shipped me a box to Ecuador I have found a guy in the U.S. willing to sell me his for $75 shipped. If anyone who is flying to Ecuador could help me out I would be very happy. I will owe you muchas cervezas.


BTW: This shipping is very bad and very expensive. It looks like I probably will not get the parts I had my parents send me.


Thanks,
Geoff

I have a welder lined up, but I would rather have the OEM part because I am guessing that if I try to explain what I need on my own by showing pictures and using my limited Spanish there will be some error with the bars.

Thanks Albert, I appreciate it. I might go ahead and try this guy I found down here first because he is giving me a pretty good price because of a local motorcyclist I met here.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
