Dave,
My place isnt to judge. What you say may indeed be the case. TRF has yet to
tell me anything that I have found to be untrue or misleading. I didnt take
the information as a sales ploy. Their supply level was not a topic raised by
them but by me. This past weekend a vendor at the British Invasion in Stowe
wanted $269.00 for a new MC and I told him that every other place online was
cheaper. He said that you couldnt get them and they were out of stock. This
is the story I related to Dave at TRF. That was when he indicated that he did
not believe that anymore new lots of MC's were being made and that what existed
would likely be it unless an unknown cache of the parts existed somewhere. He
said that they had "found" the run of 35 that they were currently selling a
couple months ago and had had trouble finding supplies of them before that. My
interest in making the post was only to encourage fellow listers who might need
one to purchase one sooner rather than later just to make sure they were able
to get the parts they needed. And by all means, buy them wherever one wants
to. I didnt check the various vendors, but I am sure there are others who have
them available.
Sincerely,
Aaron Cropley
