Canadian Sources for Aftermarket Accessories ??

Do you know of any Canadian sources for aftermarket accessories for the WR?? I am thinking about things like Flatland skidplate, case saver, rear rack, Wolfman racks. Just general things that an outfit similiar to aviciouscycle could supply. Not knocking buying stateside- just trying to find a way to avoid the hassles of duties, importing and the like.

Tried Dualsport Plus in Stoney Creek? They're gonna get me an IMS tank some time this winter (my schedule, not theirs). They have access to lots of catalogues, even though they concentrate on bigger dual-sports.

Maybe you can try these. I haven't but I bookmarked them just in case.

Ordered some footpegs from Gnarly Parts, and they came in a reasonable amount of time, not real quick, but OK. But they didn't include the replacement springs required to mount them, and the fact that they were required wasn't mentioned on their site. So I emailed them to ask about and get the springs. No answer for a week or two so I tried phoning, several times. Never had anyone pick up the phone. Tried another email to a different address I found for them, no answer. This was back in early November. So I ordered the springs elsewhere (in the US, no less) and they arrived in less than a week. Couple of emails back and forth, answered within an hour or so.

Still no reply from Gnarly Parts to this date, so I can only assume that either they read the emails and ignored or forgot about them, or they're still sitting in their inbox. Either way, that means I won't do business with them again. Reasonable e-commerce, sort-of OK delivery, but impossible to contact. I know everyone can have a bad day, but when two emails and several phone calls go unanswered, that's the kiss of death for me.

And yeah, I don't normally air complaints like this in public, but in this case, who am I gonna complain to?

I ordered a Flatland skidplate from Gnarly Parts. Came quick, good service, good price. Maybe they're a bit hit and miss?
