Chinto Posted February 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 10, 2009 FYI Heads Up!!! I just found what I think is the best price for the Yamaha tinted lower wind vents for the RSV or RSTD. Yamaha lists the price at $199. Ron Ayers Motorsports has them listed on his website for $136.14. He is offering free shipping as well for a limited time. I have included the link to his catalog for those who may be interested in adding this safety device to their ride. http://www.ronayers.com/catalogs/yahacc/parts.cfm?secid=10&type=310 I got to see these installed at the Chicago Bike Show this past weekend and thought that they would be a nice addition to my ride especially in the hot weather season.

M61A1MECH Posted February 10, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 10, 2009 If they are cheaper than Roush accessories, then order thru Roush and let them know. Roush will beat any internet advertised price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 10, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 10, 2009 But WHY do that? If Roush wants to earn the business, let them so their searches and price accordingly. I never understood this price matching stuff. Why go through all the trouble to get a company to match a price...it's easier just to buy it from the person who HAS the best price.

sarges46 Posted February 10, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 10, 2009 That is a real good price....they are almost 300 up here from the yammi site! They work just great besides adding that little extra bling for the ride. Freebird...I'm with ya on this. Bought a car site unseen from a town 6o miles away over the phone. When I went to the dealer here he then told me he would have matched the price....I told him he should have right at the start or even come close...I saved 3 grand with the other dealer....thats alot. I will never buy a major purchase from anyone here...they just dont deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadhand Posted February 11, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 11, 2009 I agree with Don, Roush Roush Accessories need to earn your business, not have you do their work for them. If I did not already have them, I would purchase them from Ron Ayers Motorsports for the $136.14 my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted February 11, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 11, 2009 I hear what you are all saying, but who doesn't already check several places on the internet for pricing when getting ready to make a purchase? I do it every time I make a purchase, if I find someone that will BEAT not just MEET the price of a competitor and all it costs me is the time to post a link to a site I already found anyway to the comments section of their order form. You all do it how ever you like, but I will continue to ask for the additional discount from vendors like Roush when ever possible. I do appreciate the link to Ron Ayers, he does have exceptionally good pricing and I will use that to leverge an even better price from Roush the next time I make a purchase.

Freebird Posted February 11, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 11, 2009 Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was putting you down. I guess that if there was somebody that I truly wanted to have my business but pricing was an issue, I suppose it would make sense. for example, if for some reason I WANTED to give all my business to Roush (or anybody else) but found he was high, then yes, I suppose I could ask him to match the price. Since I have no particular reason to give them my business though, I see no reason to go to the trouble of asking them to match a price when I can simply click and order from a place that is already offering that price. The only time I would consider doing that would be if I really wanted to award them my business, for example, if they happened to be a supporter of our club.

raceman62race Posted February 11, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 11, 2009 Question: The link posted says they will fit 99-05. I have an 08 RSV and I didn't think there was any difference from 99- 08. Am I correct? Will the vents fit an 08? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M61A1MECH Posted February 11, 2009 Share #10 Posted February 11, 2009 Freebird No problem, but I think you may have missed my message, Roush will BEAT the price not just match the price, if they were just matching then sure stay with the original vendor that offers the best price to start with. One thing about Ron Ayers right now is the free shipping, no such offer from Roush that I know of, that could mean a lot of savings especially if you are on the West coast. Actually wish I had known about Ron Ayers back before Christmas when I ordered my chrome air cleaner covers, could saved about $30.00 +. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they give you MORE air to your legs or block the air? craigr Both, they swing so you can direct air when hot, or close to block air when cold.
