Wow that sucks, if only more people would look at them and see how well made they are, their sales would be much better. I know the big guns won't allow their dealers to sell Kymco products, so just what are they afraid of? I did talk to a couple of dealers that used to sell Kymco products and they liked them, never had an issue with them but the other manufacturers threatened to pull their products unless the dealer dropped the Kymco line. It is not hard to get Kymco parts directly from the factory in I believe its SC....I have spoke to them and they seemed very helpful.
