Lost two more dealerships

Before I bought my 08 I had stopped in the Daytona shop during bike week in 2014 and planted myself on a new 14 tourer sitting on the floor. 15 minutes later not one salesperson approached me, even after I had made eye contact with 2 of them. I did not think that I would have to run one of them down to buy a new bike, especially during bike week. As my wife and I were walking out one of the walking dead asked me if I was interested in anything. Told him to f*** off and left.
 
I dont know what happened to this particular dealer, but it is usually linked to money and that one of the involved parties wasn't getting what they wanted. The other chatter isn't usually without merit, but would be minimized if money wasn't a problem.

Regardless, my hope is that a new dealer picks up the brand in your area. That is a big market.
 
Agreed, and for this slower boy from Alabama, pray tell, what is in the Update Kit that would interest anyone post 2006 or so ?

All the references I've seen to update kits dealt with older bikes that had some design weakness in the engine and transmission.
 
The update kit is for pre-2009 standard bikes. It has updates for the following: cam chain system, 2nd gear, out put gear, spark plugs, spark plug wires, clutch springs, detent, electrical rerouting for ignition switch and I'm sure some other things I cant remember. It was said to be about $2200 worth of parts.
 
You all *****in about hoarding are just pissed that you didn't get off the $200 when you had a chance. You lost!

Another hoarder surfaces knew about the kit before about 80% of the rocket owners on here even knew what a Rocket was, but in my wierd way of thinking if I did not need it why the f**k buy it but others did now the guys who really need it are going to get screwed by the guys who have it sitting on the shelf gathering dust which takes me back to my original point HOARDERS.
 
I bought my first upgrade kit for $200, realizing that when it comes time for a tune-up, the included 6 spark plugs and wires would probably cost me that much from the Dealer. The rest is just spare parts. I bought the second kit when rumors surfaced that they were going up to $500. You call it hoarding, I call it smart shopping!
 

bill there were also head gasket and sump gasket.. I gave my kit to the man who bought the r3 2006 last year
 

@warp9.9...You are absolutely correct Sir as my dealer here told me the same thing and is a little pissed about it. Can't blame him.
