Webike Cozy seat

I believe the current exchange rate is roughly 100 yen to a dollar but this fluctuates day to day.

I placed an order for Honda's tall accessory seat last night, but at this point I'm not sure if it's going to go through.

Global Ratuken only ships within Japan, and instructs overseas buyers to set up a forwarding service. The forwarding service in turn provides a local Japanese address and phone number to give to the seller. When they receive the shipment, the service forwards the package overseas, all for a small fee. I used Global Ratuken's recommended service but had issues trying to pay the $14 fee to that service.

Global Ratuken's confirmation e-mail said to expect another e-mail in a few days with the shipping fee. Then I have to confirm those charges in order to complete the transaction. Otherwise everything is cancelled.

It's not a user friendly experience for US buyers but I hope to have a factory seat that's 20mm higher than the US seat........in a month or so. Maybe.

hmmmm.. google's exchange converter is way off then. i did it through another site and it's saying only $427US. still a little more than I'd like to spend on a seat at this point.

Sounds like a nightmare to deal with. Hopefully you get it though and can give us an update.
