Default Best deals on SouthBend clutches?
It's time for a new clutch and I've decided on a SouthBend OFE stg 4. Just wondering where the best place to get it is.

Agreed. You really can't beat theft.

Yeah that's what I figured. Worth a shot to ask though.

Default Yes it is, this is because they dont give their dealers all that great of a
wholesale price which means most dealers have to sell it at more then what SB sells it for which to me makes no sense for dealers to sell their clutch.

Default True, but better to earn a low margin, than not make the sale. If someone wants SB clutch, they are
probably going to get one. So person seeking SB clutch wouldnt buy one of their other clutch kits anyways ('their' refering to the dealers which may offer other clutch kits)

Less than ideal, but better than making no profit (from not selling item)

Default KMD had the best price that I found.
They extended their holiday sale through the 10th; I picked up my Stage 4 for $523 shipped.

Default That's a hell of a clutch.
Shouldn't you be working or something?
