    CB Motorcycles on Douglas Street in Cork City specialise in USA imports. They have a good range. Not all their bikes are on the website though:

    Importing bikes from the states can cost quite a bit, shipping 1,500-2k depending on weight/size, customs ~10%, VAT 21%, VRT too.

    It would probably cost more than the bike to ship it over!

    Then there's the issue of whether it would actually be road legal since it's a custom machine -- you might have to get a road worthyness check done.

    It can work out cheaper if the machine is high enough value and you can get the dealer in the states to knock off the tax and a discount for warranty.
