Shopping on the WWW rocks

[Thumper]

Six months back I was looking for a sissy bar for my VL1500. Went to a local agency and was quoted about NZ$550. Shopped around at a few other shops and all were between NZ$520 and NZ$600. Went on line and found a great selection of Sissy bars. Ordered one for US$185 + US$35 UPS and it arrived four days later with full fitment instructions. Half an hour later is was fitted. Two weeks ago I went back to the site and ordered a highway bar, new passenger foot pegs, chrome oil filter cover and some other chrome bits and pieces. US$310 for the lot + US$35 UPS shipping. Placed the order on line on Thursday evening and the following Monday morning the goodies were delivered to my front door. By Monday evening all the bits were fitted. Fantastic!!! I now only use www.bikercom.com. They even list NZ on the shipping options and accurately calculate shipping at time of order. The order is confirmed with the UPS tracking number and you can watch your goodies making there way across the world towards you. Another great site that ships to NZ is www.cruisercustomizing.com. Shipping is more expensive but fantastic range. My focus is primarily on stuff for metric cruisers (non Harley), and availability in NZ is pathetic. Web sites such as the ones I have listed give us Jap Cruiser riders access to equipment which none of the local shops will ever hold. Shopping on the web rocks!

Too bloody true! These shops that go on about "loyalty" FFS! They seem to think that everyone has more money than a bull can shit and charge accordingly. Good onya Jackrat.

Yes my highway pegs arrived from the good ol USA the other day. Ebay WWW.A-ZPOWERSELLERS.COM Good service and well packed up. cheap at $125
including surface shipping. Pity the dollar is dropping as that affects things a little bit. Bolted sweetly onto the XV only thing I had to do was buy a longer through bolt as the standard bolt was 6mm short.

Gotta agree Powersellers are good, I just used them a week ago to purchase Muzzy slip-ons, got an unofficial quote from Mt Eden and they wanted +- $1700 got them from a-z including shipping for $950. Unfortunately just when the dollar took it's big dip
They were even cheaper than the Muzzy web site by $100 which is what the freight cost
