Topic: Canadian prices

[feliz]

I've seen moaning on this and other forums about high Canadian prices but I was pleasantly surprised today to see I can get a HM300 exhaust for $1,000 which is still a lot of money but significantly less than I was quoted a few months back and less than I paid for a 341 system a while back. I'm guessing the reason is that these items were bought when our dollar was at it's peak.

I also went to buy some Chinese retro tires and was told they are no longer available in Canada so I priced some Dunlops and managed to get them for less than $100 each, they are made in Japan but those are almost Chinese prices. Now if I can figure out how to get around our high taxes........

Is the exhaust from Honda for a $1000? That's a ton of money less than I paid last year!

That's correct. I paid $1017 today, that's before taxes mind you. I've been watching the 300s go for around $1100-1200US on eBay recently. feliz

I always pay cash for anything bike related, leaving a paper trail can be incriminating.

I was told they even had them in stock in Vancouver, when I bought a set of 341s for my K4 earlier this year I paid quite a bit more and had to wait for them to come in from four remote areas of the globe, you would think they would at least keep four pipes together.

Sure but with exchange, duty, and shipping that would be quite a bit less here. Someone on this forum was saying they got a set from David Silver in the UK for $700
US shipped to Texas.
