I have no affiliation with them. Just wanted to get the word out so people could get some good deals.
 
Haven't been to a Cycle Gear in about a year. Might go just to have another look at their inventory.

Is it me, or has anyone else noticed that they do not carry as many "name brands" in leathers, gloves etc. as they used to.

They are loaded down with BILT. That stuff sucks. But they got a lot of stuff I need. I probably go once a month.

That was my first trip to a cycle gear. Always heard great things about them. Looked at their online stuff often but never ordered anything.

I wasn't impressed with them. Store was to small and was packed with stuff so I couldn't even walk around. This could just be the management at this location but first impression from then sucked. A lot of built products.

They did have a whole squid section. Bullet wind screen bolts, bar ends, and other sharp pointy chrome items. But after all it is in Tacoma.

There is another one father North near Seattle. May stop in there some day to give them another shot.

They make way more money off their own cheap, shitty crap. A buddy of mine was a store manager for them and said it is company policy to try to push customers towards Bilt or Sedici vs. Arai, Shoei, Dainese, A*, etc. since the profit on those is larger...
 
I got my A*'s gloves from them...they give a military discount...also i get chain lube and brake cleaner from them.

But yeah, that Bilt and Sedici is all crap....
 
couldn't agree more than :piss. They used to be pretty good back in the hay days... but they got smart and started to make their own line. So at the end, push their own line and their margin rocket sky high on $$$.

Just like any business you see, own brand = $$$ so why on earth would a business sell their other manufacture stuff even though they carry them.:wacko
