Re: Triplus Dealer Location?

Matt's Classic Bowties in Dublin, CA.

Now, here's why I like them: You can order your parts & they can have it shipped from their wholesaler right away, but there is a shipping charge (like most everybody else).
Or, you can wait until they place a "regular stocking order", which is every 2-3 weeks and the parts show up at their shop with no shipping charges. You just have to be a little patient.

I ordered my front fenders from them and waited until the placed a stocking order. I figure it saved me $100+ in shipping charges.
Then, when installing the fenders we found some other stuff that was bent up, so I had to order more parts. I waited for the regular stocking order again & saved another $100+.
Money was tight, but time wasn't for me, so it worked out just fine under my circumstances.
