Well, It finally Happened!

[Marcarl]

I;m thinking that a variety of shims should not be that un-attainable, so if you have the tool and the gaskets, it all should work out. I will look after getting a variety of shims and a warm place to work. Only room for 2 bikes at a time.

[Marcarl]

So,,, got a supply of shims, got a warm place all picked out, gaskets are coming from Earl? now WHO supplies the coffee? and oh, got us and extra meckanick in the process.

Ah darn it , to have the 87's live closer by would have been sweet. Quite a generous offer, thanks all the same. Would have been worth a whole lotta coffee.. 

[sleepy2]

If you would like I could supply the bulk Timmies coffee.

Would have to wait to get our gaskets first. Any reply Don? Time line?

Trailer is ready to transport bikes so they get there cold and ready to work on.

Have clamp down mount to secure and straps.

Since it is supposed to snow this week I could pick yours(Don)up and deliver for you.

Not all that generous really, I have this shop to work in, and the tools to do the work, all costing me nothing extra. It needs to be used to earn it's keep, and if somebody supplies the coffee then it's 'money in the bank' so to speak. It may not be much I suppose, but it's more than double of what I got yesterday.

Boy is you behind the times grandpa. No body calls us meckanicks any more. We have been modernized to tekanamnisions. It don't pay more but gives us the privilege to invest in more sophisticated and expensive tools and allows us to mortgage bigger and fancier tool boxes for a smaller cut of the shop door rate.

[Marcarl]

Yah??? wait til you see my door rate,,,, I just fixed it not too long ago.

You drove into it again?  Mayhaps ya should wait until ya get into the house before you take your nap

[saddlebum]

I imagine it would still be more since you still have to pay for the gaskets and grommets plus labour on top of that.

I can always check with Burlington cycle and Carl can check with Brantford cycle and see what their prices are. Maybe if we know how many sets are needed we can get a price brake.

[sleepy2]

Went on different web sites and big difference in prices. U.S. Cost for bolts (16) is around $2.30---to $4.00 U.S. Gaskets are around $24 to $30 U.S.--- can we say we are being gouged?????????????????

Many sites do not ship to Canada and some sites say they are Canadian BUT when you go on they are NOT!!!

Checked Pioneer Motor Sports website and they are around  $135U.S.----- $175Can + shipping (would have to contact them to see how much for shipping)

Gaskets are $33.00 x 2=$67.98

Bolts are $3.50 x 16= $56

Don't know if we could still use our discount we had before to lower cost.

 

I would probably reuse my plugs as I changed them in spring.

I also changed antifreeze and cylinder plugs then also. If no I still have a new  small jug of antifreeze.

[Marcarl]

Checked with Brantford Motorcycle, not cheap either. $50 for gaskets and $18 for rubbers. This whole process is not something you would want to do on a monthly basis, well not even yearly.

[sleepy2]

E-mailed Pioneer tonight to confirm price of parts and to see if we still get discount. Also asked about shipping. Was a little late e-mailing so won't hear till tomorrow.

[Marcarl]

Yep, them booties are not cheap!

[sleepy2]

Aren't the rubbers supplied with the bolts?  I went by the part numbers you supplied.  Just checked parts pictures and they look like they have rubber mounted to them.

Anyways I just received this e-mail from Chad Armstrong at Pioneer Motorsports

What about seeing about combined shipping??

Looks like under $200Can by my calculation ??????

 

Hi Philip thanks for the inquiry.  Yes, we do still offer the Venture Rider discount.

 

5SL-1119E-00-00   $2.99/each

 

4NK-11193-00-00  $28.99/each

 

Shipping to Canada via USPS Priority Mail should be around $30.

 

I could order these items and have them in 3-4 business days.  If you would like to order, just let me know, and I will call to get credit card info when I'm ready to ship parts.  Thanks

 

[sleepy2]

Would I need to change my drain plugs since I changed mine in the spring when I changed  anti-freeze?

What is  price of plugs at Performance?

So far Phantom Wife might get me to go with Pioneer considering difference between them --around $240 -gaskets-bolts-plugs if needed

[sleepy2]

Your right the bolts are different according to parts page!

Will be checking to see if my bolts are available thru them. Page doesn't say they are on back order so hoping they are available.

 E-mailed Pioneer yesterday and they said bolts were available. So they said they will contact me when he receives parts and get a hold of me for payment then ship.

[sleepy2]

Couldn't post for last 4 hrs as every-time I tried to get on site there was a"technical error" come up and "try later"

[saddlebum]

Check out these links the last two are complete gasket sets but the price for the complete set is less than gasket and seals bought seperatly by the look of it.

Sorry these won't fit my 2012 and have already ordered from U.S. Thanks!

[Marcarl]

One is ready, two for the road?

[sleepy2]

E-mailed Pioneer this morning to get up=date so will let you know!

[Marcarl]

Guessing there is no major rush to get all this accomplished, seeing as we will be sitting at home pouting about how much white stuff we have or haven't, why the temperature keeps staying so low when we don't have any snow anyways, and how we could possibly get together to do this work and yet stay put at home. It could be a real puzzle for sure, wonder if there are any manuals out there to figure this all out, maybe with a schematic.

Well you have until MD to get it done.
