Your 408 GBP is roughly 800 AUD, Royal Mail are looking for about 80 GBP, so all up I've got about 960 AUD to play with as a comparison.

Ideally, you'll want Nitron to ship it to you directly as then you will not need to pay UK VAT, that would make the shock only £340.00, also they could ship with UPS for around £50.00 which would be cheaper, and easier to track than Royal Mail. See - www.interparcel.com

Has anyone had problems removing the standard rear shock from the lower mount? I'm in the process of swapping out the rear shock and have removed the allen bolts top and bottem, but the bottom mount is loose, but won't come clear of the swing arm. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks.

Walked away for half an hour as I didn't want to force it. Had a coffee, came back and managed to wiggle out the spacing washer and the shock then slid out fine.

You do need to jack the bike up to extend the shock, and to support the bike when the shock is removed. Once the bolts are removed it needs jacking about another half inch or so to allow the shock to clear the top mount. then, as noted above mine was in pretty tight on the spacing washer, but the shock removed easily enough once I'd pushed it clearvwith a thin screwdriver.
