We carry a full range of new ZTR springs and products for scooters ( over 2 years). The biggest issue we face is when we tell the dealer the cost of the spring compared to a Taiwan spring or Chinese spring the dealers cry because consumers these days are price based.

We try to push quality not price, but they still cry so its kind of hard, but the product really is that much better if they would just give it a chance. We carry tools from DS also made in the USA in CA.

We have both Gates USA and Gates China Powerlink belts. Our spacers are sourced from GBS here in made in Ft Lauderdale from US steel or aluminum its a local builder.

We distribute Slipstreamer windshields ( been carrying them for 4 years ) those are made in the USA. As a business owner myself I want to support manufacturing in this country as much as we can.

Honestly, if we could find more companies like these in the industry we would buy more items made in the US. I applied for a manufacturing loan from the state of Florida 3 years ago, wrote a 40 page application and proposal and the state told us to keep importing because our margins were better. The bank wouldn’t fund it because it wasn’t as profitable. I explained that wasn’t the point, the point was to create jobs and because the bank wouldn’t back it the state wouldn’t look at it because you needed a local bank to back it. Also, the program didn’t allow to apply directly with them by the time we were denied they had already issued all the money. It’s the dumbest thing ever.

I am open to suggestions and ideas, but the doors are limited as to how to support more manufacturing when even the state of Florida is against you.

Great products; worth every cent. Sadly they will no longer customize (Corbinize) factory seats you send to them. The custom seat they made for my Suzuki 20 years ago was outstanding. If they made a P/PX/Stella seat, I’d buy one.
