Sprint_DA - 2008-05-09 8:49 AM Rynamite - 2008-05-09 7:36 AM Alright... I ordered exhaust for my streetbike. I got an awesome price, but they just called and said it's backordered til the beginning of July. Bah. There's another place that it's in stock and can ship the same day.... but it's $90 more. If it were something different, I'd probably just wait... however that's 2 months of summer that I'm not gonna get to use it if I do. Think it's worth the extra 90 bucks to have it sooner? I'd call customer service at the second place and ask them if they will price match the first place. No need to tell them it's backordered. After that I'd probably just buy it, unless your exhaust is a lot cheaper than the options out there for my Triumph $90 is just another drop in the bucket. That's why mine still has the original silencer on it. I tried that. They WILL match the price.... in 2 months as well. Apparently there are 2 different kinds of distributorships, and the one that gets the better price is super backordered, the other is available. Yeah... it's not cheap... so $90 in the scheme of things isn't that big of a difference. It would take a nice chunk out of the frame sliders I ordered, though... or a fender eliminator kit... or a double bubble windshield... or flushmount signals...
double bubbles and flushmounts are overrated. Actually the only mods I really hate on sportbikes are lowering, stretching, chrome, and that stupid integrated brake light where you don't have rear turn signals anymore. Because car drivers see that.
Edited: at least you don't have to worry about exchange rate. For the really popular exhaust for the Sprint you have to go through a company out of England called Wolf. I think they finally lowered the cost of what is basically a slip on to just under $1k. Edited by Sprint_DA 2008-05-09 8:01 AM
