Blah Blah Blah.... Maybe you should try Powersports in Clearwater, or maybe that dealership that TTJ folks use so much? I cannot remember the name...
Anyhoo, Maybe he was a "new" parts guy... Cut him some slack.
It's not as easy as you might think, the amount of shid on them fish and the shear numbers of different models and makes is mind numbing. Chances are the guy you ordered your stuff from wasn't a Streetbike guy, and simply isn't familiar with the bike at all. Hell, I had to ask a guy today "WHAT" kind of machine he was talking about? Sucked, turns out it was a Snowmobile... a Fuggin snowmobile... Now we are rollin out watercraft too... IT's whacky....
Best bet? Seriously hit the fische at Ron Ayers or similar, or get the 05 part numbers from someone and THEN hit your Brick and mortar shop. Makes life super easy when a customer has actually part numbers.
