spark plug costs in NZ
« on: June 01, 2017, 04:47:37 AM »
K1100LT
approached my local BMW motorcycle dealership asking them for the price of some Bosch  XR 5 DC plugs.  $19.90 (US$14.08) EACH!!!!


after a 5 min search on "Trademe",  (the local equivalent of e bay) I found the  identical plug supplied by a company called Partmaster
for $4.49 (US$3.18) each including free shipping.


Nothing new to see here. Move along please.

With my Ural and most purchases I try to support the local vendor.  With the BMW I have the same attitude they show me, fu** them
