 | Pilot Powers in Michigan or Ohio? I was just wondering if anyone knows a spot to get fitted with a rear pilot power in Michigan or northern Ohio? I have looked every were in Ontario and cannot find them anywere. I think that we will be lucky to have them by mid season, next year. This just won't do, I need a rear now. Anyone have any suggestions as to a favourite dealer or tire place? I have only heard of one place(vicious cycle) I saw little flyers at royal oaks on night for him so I dont know if I feel confident having a tire shipped there or not. Thanks for the help Last edited by Northern RR : 09-27-2004 at 4:16 PM. Reason: incomplete | |

 | Re: Pilot Powers in Michigan or Ohio? you want the best prices in canada?? atleast from what i've found. call Wes at 902 667 1844 ext 21 at the voice prompt. tell him your a buddy of Tony from toronto with the erion bike. i've sent a lot of people there. i believe i did ask him for a quote on the powers and he gave me 130 front, 180 rear cdn. plus only GST, 20 bucks for delivery. here's a price comparisson for you. I got my pirelli diablo corsa ( both) tires came to 414.00 CDN taxes in plus 20 delivery. |

| Re: Pilot Powers in Michigan or Ohio? Hey, thanks fellas, I will for sure try those guys, sounds like a major P.I.T.A to try and order and have them shipped to some where in detroit and then co-ordinate a time to get it put on. If I was to have it shiped here from the states I would have to worry about duty at the border and handling charges from the courier plus all of the other stuff that they seem to think that they need to hit you with. I am getting to the point that I really need to get one, either that or become one of those fair weather riders, and all of us Canadians know how well that works (it does'nt) thanks for the help |

| Re: Pilot Powers in Michigan or Ohio? just another funny little note, I called power cycle and he said that he could get it for me for a low low one time cost of $307 plus taxes...I told him that I was going to wait a bit, just until I can get the bank loan approved, oh well, I guess that it is back to the states... unless I can get a hold of Wes in Toronto, I tried the # and I could not get an answer, anyways, thanks again for the input, I will be sure to post a link if I find somehting super cheap |

what you can also do is when you hear the voice prompt just press whatever number for the sales dept and then you can ask for wes. he's the owner of the store. | |

| Re: Pilot Powers in Michigan or Ohio? Hey, I wondered were in the heck 902 area code was. I will try him again tomorrow, 180 canadian is the best deal that I have heard of, plus only the one tax, thats nice too. Does Wes have an e-mail address? I have tried that # a couple of times with no luck, but I guess that I will keep trying. On a side note I have been through Clinton lots and I dont think that I have ever seen Platinum power sports, I will for sure stop in. That is a nice spot to stop for a break on the drive north, I will try calling him later tomorrow too, just to see if he can come close to $180...Thanks for the info, I really appreciate the feedback |
