Ten days from placing order to receipt in NZ which is fast for free delivery. Absolutely no complaints about service or quality! I must admit that I didn't look at the individual reviews, just the overall percentage.
Also got the evotech, had them on most of my bikes. I understand frugality, but I don't understand spending thousands, if not tens of thousand (depending on currency) on a brand new bike and then slapping on some cheap chinese aftermarket tat.
That's great to hear, Mark!
All good in this neck of the woods! Riding season well & truly underway.
It's a bit of a conundrum, isn't it? It's a good thing to support local businesses in our respective countries where possible but there are limits. If a local business adds value to the total offering in some way, I'm happy to pay a bit more to support them and develop a good relationship. However, a lot of organisations seem to have got their business model wrong with the advent of internet sales. To give an example, my wife and I bought a new boat for sea fishing. I wanted a top of the line hand-held VHF marine radio to go with it. The cost through an NZ-based supplier was about 60% higher than buying it through the US, including freight. The clincher for me was that I noticed that delivery from the local supplier was quoted at 2-3 weeks. I strongly suspect that they didn't even hold stocks, ordered it from the same source I bought mine from and simply piled a big mark-up on top. I'd prefer to buy locally but not when I'm being ripped off.
The answer is, because the KTM/Evotech guys have to design it first. They need to measure everything, spacers, fittings, fixings etc...
Sorry for the off-topic, but is your steering damper wobbling as if it is lose and if yes is that normal?
They mount on a rose joint, so yes, they feel VERY loose... but they're not actually.
Got it, thank you!
They won't go out of business because there will always be people that think the "cheap" copy is no good.
