Congratulations Randy.  I hope this works out well for you (and this group). 

I wonder, is there any opportunity for drop shipping those items that you do not intend to stock?  In this way, shipping latencies can be reduced, in some cases by a good bit of time.

I do not anticipate your being able to, as every place I have ordered motorcycle parts from, for whatever reason, do not drop ship, instead they seem to prefer they get them to their shop and then ship them out to me again.  It just seems so unnecessary to me, and I have seen other manufacturers -in other sectors, do it readily -so why not for motorcycle parts?

If nothing else, I'd love to hear the manufacturers reasoning for NOT drop shipping, only reason I can think of is trying to stay out of the customer shipping claims and returns end of it -not insignificant I grant you...

While I'm asking questions, any chance this new deal allows you to deal in Suzuki (or Honda or Kawasaki) OEM parts as well?  I'm curious.  All things being roughly equal, I'd want to throw any business I may have for the Gixxer or Ninja Ninja your way.

Keep up the good work Randy!

Thanks,

Dan

I don't know about the drop shipping, and since I am buying pretty local and I can get items from them the day after they receive it. The time that could be saved would be one day to me, but one thing that I can see as an issue for drop shipping is the carrier selected.

I use USPS Priority mail on 99% of the packages to the lower 48 which arrive in 3 days or less. It does require me to deliver my package to the post office daily and not have UPS or FedEx package pick up. I know packages ship across the lower 48 by those two carriers can take double the shipping time and the cost is usually higher.

The manufacture (Yamaha) is not going to drop ship due to the volume of shipping that would be required. I am not fully of aware of how the supplier receives their parts, but I know my buddy who owns a large Ace Hardware store receives a stock order three days a week and they drop 80-100 tote bins every shipment. I can only presume the parts supplier I am using is doing something similar.

I do have another company that I signed up with several months ago and they have a drop ship program, but the additional fees they charge ($6-10) per package is something I do not feel can best supply my customers. If I have it on the shelf and you get it in no more than three days after it ships, then I can't do much better.

I am going to focus on the Yamaha stuff for now, but if you have other brand part numbers I will gladly get price and availability if requested.

Just got a set of new throttle cables from Randy. OEM quality and got here fast. They are now on the bike and work great, as Yamaha intended. 

Thanks for the quick ship on these Randy. I can now go for a ride today.

When I ordered my cables, I also bought a Seal Mate as my left seal was beginning to weep.
Worked great and saved me a bunch of work taking it all apart. $5.95??? Great deal and easy to use.

Thanks again, Randy,

Any idea when your voltage regulators will be re-stocked
Thanks

[racerrad8]

Well, funny you ask. The Electrosport regulator used some sort of chip that has been discontinued. I have been in constant communication with them and as of Monday, there is no date of the new version being available.

So, I contacted Rick's as they manufacture one similar for the fj. I have plenty on the way and should see them Monday.

Since it is a new product part number, if anyone requested a email notification, you will not get one. I will send out an update when they are in stock.

Alright ladies and gentleman. I spent the day Friday adding most of the Sena items we can get to the website. The accessories like spare batteries and mounts etc are not on there yet but I can get them for you as well. All the Sena items can be found here or by looking in the accessories tab or by typing Sena  into the search field on our website.

Also after special ordering a few of these Oil Filter Drain Funnel for those of you who have the RPM Spin On Oil Filter Adapter they are now in stock in our current inventory.
