I assume you have the stock seat. Get a Mustang seat. You won't regret it.

Default e-Bay may still be cheaper!

One problem with that, is taxes! Even if the dealer locally matches the price you find on e-Bay it still may not be as cheap. In my city, in California, there is an 8.75% sales tax (and a lot of places are a lot higher than that) that will be added to whatever price he matches. So, if you take the price on e-Bay plus the shipping (several of the dealers on e-Bay offer FREE shipping) and it is still cheaper than after he adds whatever taxes you have in your area to his price (and on items that are hundreds of dollars that really ads up), then I would still order from e-Bay. You have to look at the BIG PICTURE!

Thank goodness NH has no sales tax! I'm sure to save money!

I found a jacket on ebay from one of the dealers so I went into a local dealer to see what size jacket to order off of ebay, I told the sales girl what I was doing and she told me that they will price match with other dealers, even on ebay as long as it was a 'fixed price' auction or 'Buy it now' so, I bought it there. (And didn't have to wait for shipping.)

Either way, I still got it for $50 cheaper than if I would have just walked in and bought it.

I just picked up a BAL3ST Bright *** Light tail lamp. I can tell it's going to be one my my favorite accessories that will migrate to any new bike I get. It's awesome.

Buy a pine scented air freshner for the handle bars. They are a deal at any gas station.
