Canadian 2nd Gen owners

[XV1100SE]

With the RSV now officially discontinued and some of the OEM parts having already been discontinued.... if you are looking for a Yamaha part that is no longer on the yamaha-motor.ca site, check yamaha-motor.com.

 

I've wanted the chrome air intakes but they are not available from Yamaha Canada. They are however, available in the U.S..

 

I checked pricing online (Cruiser Customizing has them for $347 vs Yamaha list price of $449) and then contacted Chad at Pioneer Motorsport. He can order them and will match the lowest price. (for those that haven't dealt with Pioneer... great family to deal with - and we get a 15% discount off list).

 

Just a heads up for those that haven't thought of it... with the RSV production stopped, so too will be the OEM accessories. Even Yamaha U.S. no longer has the ball milled air intakes. You can only get the smooth ones (which is what I ordered). Pricing between U.S. and Canada are pretty even for list prices with some Canadian prices being lower than U.S.. But if what you want isn't available here... go thru the U.S.
