Once every spring I place a large parts order with a local shop, I helped them establish their dealer account with Parts Unlimited a few years ago and this large order at a discount is a kind of thank you. If there is enough interest from mnsubaru riders I will add them into the order. Note: this is only a feeler at the moment to get an idea of how many would be interested. As a courtesy to them nickel and dime type items are not allowed; IE: one oil filter and 3qts of oil. However 6-12 filters and a case of oil are OK. Reason being, Matt has to look up the part numbers, dealer cost and then add a percentage for his cut(I do not take a cut, I am just the hook up). A bunch of small items would cost him more in his time then he would make off of them. The preferred type of items are/would be tire/s(tubes and rim strips), seats, chains & sprockets, body work(tanks, fenders...), high end helmets & jackets...., ignition systems, major electrical items(voltage regulators/stators/batteries), engines, transmissions, exhaust, wheels and so on............ Some exceptions can be made to the nickel and dime items if you are also ordering other higher priced items. If you are in need of a $500-$1000 in body work and wheels I am sure he won't mind adding in a filter or two. Typically the discount works out to be around 20% above dealer cost. The order is placed with Parts Unlimited so items from the Dirt, Street and Fat Book(Harley) catalogs are all fair game. Links to the catalogs online: Fat Book (Harley) http://www.dragspecialties.com/fatbook Street http://street.parts-unlimited.com/ Dirt http://offroad.parts-unlimited.com/ If you are interested in this and would like to make it happen give a :biggthumpup: and post a general list of what you are interested in. IE: I need tires, chain and sprockets..... So I can get a feel for what we are looking at. If you have any questions post them up and I can answer. As far as pricing goes I can guarantee they will be less then MSRP but can not get you exact figures until Matt gets a list of part #s and can look them up(dealer prices change often). Like I said typically you will be looking at 20% over dealer cost. On items like tires that can be 25-50% off MSRP. If it looks like there is enough interest in this I can start another thread in the FS/group buy/wanted section to get Part numbers and take pms for me to start creating a list to get to Matt.
great tire for the money... I think I put them on my TL1000R before selling it... My brother even bought some when he was here and took them home to Australia cause they were about half the price he would pay back there...
For the guys interested in tires can I get you to edit your post and add the size, part# and short description. I will call Matt and get a quick price to you guys so you can get an idea of what you are looking at. Part #s are in the online catalogs.
can I get a price for the following... 0640-0121 Hindsight LS bar end mirror QTY 2 (L/R) They don't have the exhaust I want
I will get approximate prices for those who are interested on friday. Wakaba, what exhaust are you looking for? I may not be in the industry any more but I do have hookups I can check out for you if you would like me too.
I fully intended to get some general prices for you guys today but I got called into work and it doesn't look like I will get out of here in time to talk to Matt before he closes up shop so it will have to wait until next week. AWDimprezaL, Paul Revere, wrexinator03 can I get you guys to look up the part number/tire sizes so I can get you an accurate price. Wakaba, I haven't got a chance to talk to any one on the exhaust, but I will check around for you. Any one else who needs any thing post up part #s and I will get a price next week for you guys/gals.
No, luck on the exhaust. None of the shops around here that I have a hook up at, have an account that deals with Quat-D, sorry. I will have a price for the mirrors in the next day or two. I am stopping by Matts tomorrow. Any one else who has any thing they want a price on post up a part # and I will add it to the list for price checks.
