but we can get a forth here in 5 days plus shipping.

Well guess what shipping is on one signal ?

$18.

This from the local Buell dealer when asking about signals. I expected to just walk in, pull it off the wall, pay and walk out. Didn't really want to sit on a bike. Didn't really want to talk to a salesperson for twenty minutes. Didn't really care what the latest gee wiz HD junk was around.

While I was waiting for the parts guy to figure out the fiche, I watched a salesperson try to push a 05 xb12r on a guy that wanted a 08. Now, if I were a thinkin man, I'd think something was wrong with a floor model that had 3.4 miles on it, a Sept 05 model, and STILL ON THE FREAKING SALES FLOOR.

Anyhow. Why do dealerships always lie and deceive instead of shooting straight ? Telling me a low price on something ($9 each for signals) but then saying ONE needs to be shipped and the shipping is twice one's cost is just deceitful.

Bad Buell dealer, no cookie.

that may very well be, but their turn signals look great on the gs  :thumb: im buying a set once i get the money.

Hmm.  Fact:  Hard sell tactics don't sell.  Unfortunately for prospects, their tactics will reflect their desperation.

That's the entirely opposite of my experience.  The HD/Buell dealer I went to was friendly, but totally, utterly, incomprehensibly clueless about the Buells on their showroom floor.
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

I've had good experiences with my local Buell dealers, sorry yours sucks.   That's part of the problem with their distribution model.

just found em on ebay, save a few dollars but id have to make a paypall account.  how do you get rid of that gap b/w the signal and the fairing without cutting the "bump".

i forgot about that...the reason i did not use them.
