So in pursuit of pod filters for my CB 500/550 I thought "Why not check Rec Supply?"
Day 1
Me: Do you have pod filters for a 73 Honda CB500?
DB: You'd have to bring the carb in because they're all different sizes.
Me: Here it is.
DB: Oh. (putzes around looking for a measurer)
DB: (continues to putz around in the back looking for filters)
DB: (gives me 4 filters)
Me: These are the wrong size.
DB: (see step 5...)
Me: They look pretty long to fit in the frame.
DB: They'll fit. Everybody buys these.
Day 2
Me: I bought these filters yesterday and they don't fit.
DB: They are the smallest ones made.
Me: I've seen smaller ones on the internet.
DB: Then you should buy them on the internet.
Me: Could I have my money back then?
DB: The K&N's are bigger.
Me: I'm not asking for K&N's, can I have my money back?
DB: I need you credit card back then............
Just wanted to say thanks Rec Supply for always going the extra mile!
I just bid on some filters on egay that should fit perfect. (Brand new "UNI" filters which Rec Supply can order. They probably even have some in the back)
PS: I went to Custom Cycle looking for an OBSCURE discontinued carb part (for a honda) which they phoned every damned warehouse in N. America and made the guys actually LOOK on the shelves to find one.
Oh man, this is fun. I'm going to rec tomorrow so I can get hassled and the blog about it.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I just thought of an awesome game. We should really just start going in there with increasingly annoying and obscure parts requests and TRY to piss them off.
ReplyDeleteME: I'm looking for muffler bearings for an XS850 DB:...
Harararar!. Muffler bearings! ME:I bought the last "pair" here but i ran them out in 1 season. That's kinda shitty but here's the only place i could get them...

Got the egay filters for $36 as opposed to $71 from Rec Supply
