I think it is more likely we will see a repeat of this year's shortages and back orders. I would be completely surprised, albeit pleasantly, if I see Dunlop supply satisfy demand before this time next year. I have been selling tires at Chrome World for a long time and I have seen tire shortages before. The hardener will have how much fiberglass resin to hardener mix to make. Although Dunlop believes they will be at full capacity in 60 days that does not mean that the tire shortage will instantly end. The strike will be 90 days old on January 3, 2007. Meanwhile, Dunlop has been hiring replacement workers and expects to be at full capacity within 60 days. Well, Dunlop says that once they start running at full capacity it will take them at least 6 months to catch up with demand for the power sports after-market. Once the automotive market demand is satisfied Dunlop will turn to the power sports market. Once they satisfy demand from the OEs they will go to work on the after-market supply.
First of all, Dunlop has made it very clear that the motorcycle after-market supply is very low on their list of supply priorities. A list of all models will show up on the screen. The Interceptor, my two-wheeled fantasy since before I was old enough to even have a license, will remain just that, I think. As promised, here is the latest information I have concerning the Honda Goldwing tires made by Dunlop and the Dunlop worker's strike. Now consider that nearly every Dunlop motorcycle tire is made at the Goodyear Dunlop Tonawanda facility near Buffalo New York. In a news interview one striking Goodyear worker said his greatest concern about the strike was that they might lose the Harley Davidson order. The suppliers periodically place bulk orders with Goodyear Dunlop. For the most part the shortages were usually resolved by our suppliers within a month or two. Most of the shortages of the past were simply caused by our suppliers underestimating the number of tires they were going to sell. Even then they are going to concentrate on original equipment production for Harley and Honda. However, we are currently back ordered on the Bridgestone and Dunlop tires.
The current shortage; however, is very different. Dunlop is trying to bring in some Qualifiers from France; however, the supply is slow and the quantities fall short of demand. So far the strike has mainly affected supply of Dunlop Elite III's, Dunlop 402 cruiser tires, and Dunlop Qualifiers. Using Dunlop's best case scenario, we are looking at August of 2007 before we see a readily available supply of Dunlop Elite III's for the Goldwing . This information was provided by Dunlop to one of our Dunlop Gold Wing tire suppliers during a conference call. When sales exceed expectations the suppliers may run out of tires until the next scheduled bulk order arrives. Although I don't know the size of the order it's not hard to believe it is substantial. If the tires you order come in earlier than you expect and you don't need them yet, just store them in a dry place until you do need them.
All the bikes come with high quality suspension and steel frame. Brand: Replacement. Fits Years: 1995, 1996, 1997, 95, 96, 97. PartsGeek offers high quality new, OEM and aftermarket products. I purchased an OEM Homelink module. ABS Fairings observation I obtained was that equivalent aftermarket motorcycle components are much less high priced than OEM parts. I ordered from National Auto Parts and paid 1/3 of the price as anywhere else online. From these various locations you should gain an idea of the various kits that you want to buy and their full price. There are also many different motorcycle brands including some of our rider鈥檚 favourites: Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda, that you might want to choose from so make sure to look around at the different models, functions and pricing before purchasing. There was no rush of adrenaline when I spun the throttle. If you need a vehicle, there is nothing wrong with investing in one.
