    Let me know if you want to work that out or not. :)

    If I was just sitting on the part i wouldn't have a problem trying to work with a guy. If you look in my signature, I have my own project to fund. It's already a better deal than available anywhere else and UPS shipping 3lbs CO to CT is $15.20

    Wait around long enough and you might find your deal. Or roll the dice on the hong kong version.

    Tink, you win the patience award for the day Brother. If I lived closer I'd give you a cold Rolling Rock.

    I guess so Tink, but I log on and read this thread and I see the OP asks his question. Gets a response. You come on and offer a OEM seat cowl for the same price as the cheap HK one and he wants to haggle over a few f-ing dollars with a forum member?

    I have to ask why the OP owns a motorcycle in the first place if 10 bucks extra is too much!? Shit, I’ll give the OP the extra 10 dollars.

    I can tell he is the type of rider who goes to a ‘real’ engine tuning shop wanting more power, gets a price quote, gets pissed at the price and comes on the board and writes a nasty post about ‘this rip off shop’ then posts up he can get the same extra power with a Hindle exhaust, K&N air filter (found on ebay for a rock bottom price) and 93 octane pump fuel so why are they so much?

    I was not going to chime in but, declining an OEM part over a little shipping was just beyond my ability to understand. Great deals do not often just land in my lap and when they do I am all over them like Tink on a box of OCP's.

    Ouch. I am so hurt.
    If you want to throw $10 my way.. please do. More power to you.

    My original post was asking about opinions on the knock offs.. I got that answer and I was happy.
    My only fault in this thread was to "haggle" on price in the open.
    Should have been more professional and went through PM.
    Lesson learned.

    Lesson has not been learned; you completely miss the point.

    At that price Toe, I was half tempted to buy it myself and I don't even own a VFR anymore.

    matasickle, I will paypal tink 10 dollars if you payapl the remainder to him for the OEM seat cowl you cheap, underserving basterd who can't see a freaking awesome deal in front of there face if it bit them between the eyes.

    BZ

    p.s. I don't begrudge anyone who really is low on money. We have all been there; but I will chastise and call out stupidity masking itself as being frugal.

    I don't see how I was being stupid. I know that OEM solo seats go for $100+ on ebay and such.
    I opted to offer what I was comfortable with offering.
    He didn't want to accept. All is well... No one got hurt.
    I didn't start saying he's a this or that for not accepting.

    I don't take much serious on the interweb.. so whatever ridicule I receive I take it with a grain of salt.
    And I know it's fun to pick on the new guy... especially when he's an easy target (I bring it upon myself, whatever).

    If you want to offer up that $10, cool.
    Next week when I get the $55 in my paypal account I will totally take you up on that.
    If not, you can always donate that $10 to a local animal shelter in my name.

    Is all good. It's a body part, not a cam shaft or carb. He's got his price he's willing to pay for a cosmetic item that doesn't prevent him from riding around. He might find his price next week or three years from now but it's his choice. Some may shake their head but it's his money and ride.

    However, make a comment about paying the local engine builder or dyno time and it's game on!
