Thanks, i guess this stuff is getting harder to get in N.America, maybe the bike just isn't popular enough to justify carrying much for them.
This doesn't seem to be the case in Europe, i'll order one from UK.

Where are you ordering from? I was looking for the "woodcraft eccentric folding toe piece" and saw it on Revzilla (https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/woodcraft-eccentric-folding-toe-piece) but it is out of stock. I can't find anyone carrying it in Canada.

I'm in BC, i have in the past tried to order from Revzilla and i always get told they don't deliver to Canada. Their web site says so and i one time called and was told the same. So i don't bother even looking at their site.
Though they did tell me if i opened a PO box state side no problem.......YA right, not a chance, all other suppliers don't seem to have an issue, so "Fukm"
Did you get popped with a US Customs or any other type of charge besides the item and shipping cost?

My experience with customs fees has been sporadic. Sometimes a package is flagged by customs, and sometimes not (for the same item). You can refuse delivery if a customs charge shows up on delivery, but that just gives the sender the choice of paying the fee themselves (never happens), abandoning the item (customs then takes ownership and auctions it or destroys it), or paying to have the item shipped back. As far as I know, the sender is not responsible for customs adding a fee, and is not required to give you any refund on a refused item due to an added customs fee.

My understanding is that motorcycle parts are not suppose to have customs fees associated with them.

Motorcycle parts are exempt from US customs fees. Sometimes FedEx will try to charge them but you should refuse to pay, citing the regulations.

I have tried to order from FortNine in the past and they won't ship south of the border.
One time when I was trying to order a pair of gloves from Revzilla, I was talking to the sales support on the phone and when he told me they were out of stock, he checked FortNine's inventory to see about getting a pair from them. So there must be some sort of relationship there.

Well that's interesting, that could be the reason then. Revzilla are the only ones i have a hard time with, no issues with anyone else.
Here's another option. This lever also fits BMW R80/100GS and R100R. So, any aftermarket shift lever that fits these BMW models should fit the S10. I bought one several years ago and it works great.

@magic - Why would you think that fits a S10? Never mind it's hideously over priced. You would need to drill for your own linkage.Here's another option. This lever also fits BMW R80/100GS and R100R.

+1, affordable too. After one too many drops I did have to replace the rubber on it, they worked with me to ship that cheaper.

Eric, open up the attachment and read the description through. It's a bolt on part with no drilling or modifications required. Like I mentioned, I bought one in 2015 and it's works great. I agree it's overpriced, but what the hell, it's for one of my bikes. On the BMWs the shift lever faces the rear of the bike and on our S10s it faces forward. I still have the instructions that came with the lever, BMW instructions on one side and Yamaha on the other, same part number. The Wunderlich lever comes with the Heim joint already attached.

I did open the links you posted. Maybe you intended to share the .pdf instructions? LINK The links you posted all show a generic shift lever with no linkage and the newest year on their web site is 1995. You didn't say what you had to do to make it work, only that it worked. The .pdf instructions do have XT1200 shown, with the linkage shown in the diagrams.
I opened the link and scrolled down through the description where it states that it also fits Yamaha Super Teneres. The actual shift lever is shown. You can't see the blind tapped hole on the backside for the linkage. The newest year is 1995 because these levers are for the older 2 valve air head Beemers. Regardless, it fits and works just fine.
