Tires for the Canadians
Posted: Wed Jun 27, 2012 11:47 am
For any/all Canadians on the forum, you know the issues we face when buying our bikes and gear/accessories for the bikes compared to how cheap the USA boys get the equivalent items: we pay more for the products due to less population supply/demand and we pay a hell of a lot more shipping due to less population and larger land mass.
Brokering large items across the border can be expensive and annoying.
I just ordered a rear tire for the XJ from http://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/.
I ordered a Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 Sport Touring Rear Tire 130/70 to match my current tires.
I was quoted $248+ for this tire from all the local motorcycle shops (install NOT included).
I ordered the tire from http://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/ and paid $148.27 GST and Shipping included!
It arrived at my door within 5 working days. :kudos:
