$142.00 for a Triumph fuel filter? F____ off!

[dogsnbikes]

The other day I had a fuel cupling on the Daytona snapped off then the second one snapped so off I went too order some and the cuplings were in stock and so was the rubber seal I needed,

So far its costing me

cuplings x2 $45 ea
rubber seal $85
o-rings x2 $10.50 ea

since I have the tank apart and the fuel filter is internal I may as well replace it,and rather than getting the triumph Fuel filter @ $142 I got a BMW Fuel filter @ $70 and they are the same FFS

So if anyone is doing their fuel filter on the Daytona 955i or similar have alook at the BMW Fuel filter............ Part # 16 14 2 325 859

Pathetic eh. I fail to understand how this happens in NZ.

I've been ordering FACTORY HONDA parts and sundry service bits from the USA for my Honda - some of the shit in NZ is 6 x the price. The same little genuine Honda parts.

I found the same thing when I did the fork seals on the daytona,it was alot cheaper to get the honda CBR900 fork seals as both bikes use the same forks

Holy shit! $10.50 for a circle of rubber?

bloody mad isn't it,they use too be $8.00 ea,but saying that I did have a triumph dealer charge me $132 to replace the o rings once and they use non fuel rated O rings which turned into a goooey sludge

Note it is for USA models only so if your ride did not land there it will not be listed.

Most of the popular bikes will be listed - be aware that headlights will probably not be legal in NZ due to the offset. But some models are the same and rely on adjusters to do the angle.

I purchased the identical BMW filter while in Oz..........AU$37 from memory. $142 is just an absolute rip

Yea don't shop at AMPS if you can help it. I find all my filters are available from Repco. Much cheaper.
