    The Dukes of Cycles is the one around Toronto. Because Canada is a somewhat large area, it is hard to predict what area you are in.

    I did some looking around for you, because I'm just sitting here drinking coffee:ranger: and I came across this: http://www.cbtimports.com/ . Take a look here too http://www.cbtimports.com/ordering.htm Click on the locate a dealer hypertext and toggle down, it shows four distirbutors in Canada and their phone numbers. It looks like it might be what you are looking for...........hope it helps.

    Thanks,that was what i was looking for,i called 2 of them,looks like $800.00 for a Staintune high mount. Little more than i want to pay,i'll keep looking for another brand or possiblly shipping one from a US dealer.I actually called 3 shops but on was a BMW dealership and had no interest ordering a "Honda" part.

    I looked into a Staintune hi-mount for my 4th gen out here in Vancouver. A local place could order one for $730. I found the same pipe from a place in Calif. for $459. We continue to be ripped-off up here! It's still cheaper to pay shipping (and possibly duty).

    It is not a matter of being ripped off, it is more a matter of the vendor selling it for what he wants. This is what makes our system what it is (called free enterprise). He is merely pricing himself out of the market thats all.
    Why people insist that if someone wants more for something than someone else it is ripping them off is beyond me. FWIW, I generally shop around before buying something, and will find the cheapest price. That is the consumer's right and perogative isn't it? Anyone that does not do that is the one that is wrong, not the vendor.

    Its seems there is a big difference in suggested retail between Canada and the US,a lot more than the exchange rate and shipping and thus the feeling of being ripped off.

    I think they would make a nice combination. Seems like a popular choice for the 4th gen.

    Cheers

    Your bike sounds way better the way it is than a stock 6th gen i guess it must be the cat that makes them just to quiet, your bike should rock with tunes on it :hail:

    Hey Chomper.

    Staintune mounted and ready! Got a used one off craigslist.

    No insurance yet...so it's vroom-vroom in the driveway for now.

    Cheers,
    Bryan
