Having Friends in the "BIZ"
 

It really helps having friends in the "BIZ". My dad know a whole bunch of people that work at the local dealers here in St Louis. I knew that we got great deals on bikes but I didn't know that his friends could get me parts at cost as well. I orderd a pair of CCTs today and only paid $120 including tax. Not a huge discount but they were just as cheap as the APE units when you include tax and shipping from an internet vendor.

I paid $125 with tax here in VA... that's the typical cost

Well typical cost here in MO is around $70/side without tax.
