What should I keep on the shelf at all times? Let me know product, brand, size, and color, and tell me why you like this product.

My hope is to make my company as large as parts unlimeted and the rest of the big boys. I will be selling over the internet as soon as I get my crdit card machine hooked up or if you want to pay with pay pals or cert. check.
I have most hard parts covered from Alpine stars to wesice and everything in between. Tell me what works.

should make them order axles and a-arms probably. Not many people end up replacing them and when they do they usually do it once. I'm think jets, filters, bars for sure, nerfs, bumpers, jets, tires, grips. Basicly lots of wear items or items that are prone to breaking.

you should definately have number plates and numbers in all sizes and colors. Bumpers and nerfs. Helmets and all other gear. Handlebars, perches and killswitches. DEFINATLY HAVE K&N FILTER CLEANER AND LUBE AND FOAM FILTER CLEANER AND LUBE ALONG WITH CHAIN LUBE. Also carry motor oils. I think those are musts and if u wanna get fancy have tires rims plastics graphic kits etc.

As said before the type of buisness makes a difference. If it's just a small local shop I'd have just a couple axles, nerf bars, pipes, plastic, skids and such from the manufacturers that you'll be carrying out for display. That way you don't have 20 axles in backstock that nobody wants and you paid for, but when someone comes in and whats to see what one looks like up close before they buy it it's there to see. That's something that irritates me about shops around my area, you have to order everything before you can see what it looks like in person.

Good luck with the new buisness, Be prepared for anything. I have to suggest making sure you know how to install everything that you stock! Even if you dont plan on installing anyone elses stuff.

i think i would skip on the a-arms and axles lil pricey to be just sitting on.

normal wear parts such as brakes,chains,sprockets etc...

riding gear is a hot seller around here and graphics.

also pipes and silencers are good to have on stock there a big seller.

and depends on what most ppl do with there quads around your parts would depend on tires and wheels.

also check with some of the oil companies they will sit up a display in your shop.such as amsoil and lucas save you some overhead.

and good luck with your business hope you do well.
