Show me a manufacturer that doesn't make an arm and a leg on their OEM parts. Usually the quality is higher on some stuff though. You get what you pay for in a lot of cases, but obviously something like tires or a grab bar aftermarket is the only way to go.

huh.huh....yeah

I would have to agree on some stuff......especially engine gaskets and piston rings.

they all (stealerships) rape you for oem parts
and god forbid you have them put a tool on it.

I bought a new rim and had it overnighted for the weekend
(140.00 shipped), I take in my old wheel/tire off the atv
and they wanted to charge me 31.50 to pull the tire off bent rim
and put it on new rim.

piss-off !!! FREEDOM HONDA IN GRANDVIEW MISSOURI
(I had it done at a tire shop on the way home for 6.00)


im ok now, I had to vent

I was pleasantly surprised at the price of new Tie Rods... I was expecting an arm and a leg, but it was about 15 bucks a piece.

Honda 450R ones are about 8 a piece... I know because they bend like paper, and I buy them in 6 packs.:rolleyes:

not even joking.....

agreed I would much rather bend the tie rod than the spindle or anything else for that matter, but it just seems they bend too easy. I would think they could be a little stronger and still bend before anything else. I really do buy them about 6 at a time but its only because there are 3-4 of us who race at one time with 04/05 450Rs. Some of my buddies have bent them without running into anything. They just pull in after their moto and they're bent. There were a couple weekends we were readjusting them after every time it went out on the track.
