i can get a oem cr250 crankshaft from the uk for £368 and in the usa the exact same one is £168. I know that i will pay shipping and import fees but dont understand the massive price difference from the uk to the usa for exactly the same thing

Vs importing from Japan. America and Japan have a trade agreement where vehicle parts are imported in to the USA with little or no duty applied. The UK has import them according to the rates set by the trade agreement negotiated by Brussels. If you go back to the source in Japan both the UK and US importers will pay the same price for parts from the factory.
My advice is make a big list of bits you want and negotiate with a parts supplier. When you're wanting to order £1000+ of parts, or order bits they've had for a while, they'll knock money off. And if you're worried about the prices of parts then sell your bike as it's only going to get worse.
The Shop
There is a guy in Holland that imports cranks from the usa.. i bought one from him for 315 euro 05-07 crank..
You can contact him if you want.. the crank will be around 330 euro with shipment to the uk.
