Ron always tell us, "If you find a good price online, just give me a call and give me the chance to either beat it, or at the very least match it." He totally stands by his word too, if he can't do anything with price he'll tell you strait up. Get to know him, you'll go nowhere else.

I have a few problems with some of the prices/service some places give. For some reason they both have the word Honda in them??? rt23 & rt15 The Yamaha place on 23 is great though Jim the service manager is a stand up guy.

Seems like your issues have been with stealerships...and well, umm, duuh. WCW is not a dealership, its a small shop that has ALOT of product in stock. The plus side to that is that they're honest people, if you tell him you think you need a part, he won't try to sell you the most expensive one...he'll give you options...if you ever get a chance to go there, you'll see what I'm talking about...do a search for wcw(washington cycle works) see what everyone else says...everyone can't be wrong.

ps...all vendors here on SBA will take care of our members, and no I don't get any kick backs LOL.

WCW will not rip you off and they will give you excellent service. 4 bikes later and I keep going back to them. They are like a part of my family now. And they will ALWAYS stand behind their work no matter what.

In my experience even if they can't price match exactly i will still go there for peace of mind that if something happnes they will just take care of it for me.

WCW is a great place to deal with, if they are close enough to make it worthwhile... I am almost an 1.5hrs away, so my business with them has been pretty much limited to suspension tunes in the spring, and a NRC stator cover which they could get me quicker (and CHEAPER) than getting it from NRC (the manufacturer) directly.

Big up's to WCW. If you live close by theres no reason to buy from anyone else.
I buy as much as I can from Ron but some things you need to try on and the shop is about 2hrs from my house...

I bought my last chain and sprockets from Ron. DID ERV3 and Renthal sprockets. The AFAM sprockets are very good too. They just didnt have one for my R1 in stock at the time...

Damn man, I can only give info on what I use and know, lol. I personally have never used kevlar lines so I can't comment on them. However, I've used stainless lines on both street and track bikes, and it makes a big difference from stock rubber lines which flex under pressure. Not sure what lines are on the track bike as they were already on there when I bought the bike. Street bike I had Goodridge lines. If you really want some crazy stoping power, SS lines with HH pads

I'm just busting your balls Joe. I have certain brands I like and don't like too. I've heard lots about stainless but not too much on kevlar so I guess I'll go with SS. Joe does pittbull make SS brake lines????? LOL

NJRACER I found a take off for an 03-05 calling shop today to see if it will work on my bike. It has no miles on it so I'm taking Joe's suggestion to stick with stock.

LOL, nope, but they do carry 520 kits and their own steering dampers

Speaking of Pitbull, their new Jack Stands look pretty cool.

The one with wheel that lets you move the bike when it is up? Speaking of Dampers what are the pros/cons in using them and what the hell do they do?
