    Grill Covers...WORK!!

    I bought a Dowco Guardian cover a few years ago and lasted 2 years rain or shine. I then bought a house with a garage.. so it doesn't get much uses anymore (except during winter). It still holds together nicely and also has a lifetime warranty on it :)

    All round tyres required

    Seems like I'm the only one on here with Pirelli Angel's on here.. so here's my review! :) I can't compare them with PRs as I switched my tires from the original dunlop to pirelli's. I loved the angel ST. They stick to the asphalt really good and heat up quite fast. The dual compound also...

    The group is really security centric and a few will actually ride with you (a week our 2 prior to your exam)in preparation of the exam. See that as a confidence builder :)

    how much do dealers usually mark up?

    Fixed it for you ! :) By adjusting price, I meant lowering the price because of a higher dollar value not the other way around. Any reason's good to jack up a price! Cars are a good example of that, MSRP between US and canada doesn't reflect exchange rates even if its been stable for a...

    how much do dealers usually mark up?

    There's more then just the money conversion. We have to pay taxes and taxes on taxes and tire taxes for any vehicule. At the end of the day though, 6.3k is still too much! Blah

    how much do dealers usually mark up?

    That's too high for an 07. I paid 6k 4 years ago for mine. Somewhere around 4 and 5k would be a more reasonable price for it. Prices in Canada are a bit higher then the US.

    How much do you pay for insurance?

    The real difference comes from Quebec having two seperate set of insurance. Liability and physical damage. Personnal insurance only cover physical damage and the plate covers the liability parts. That would be why our plates are so damn high (560 for an FZ6). in total, the price range...
