Obviously that isn't possible in some of the lines we're talking about... nobody could carry all the wheels with all the variables... But that's how I did it when I ran a multimillion dollar (like 100 million in sales per year) business... No inventory investment - no dealer.
I've bought stuff from Frank -- got it within days (back when) NFW I'd buy anything now. Not taking that chance. We're friends. But that stops at the wallet.
I've bought stuff from DSE -- Got my stuff within DAYS
I've bought stuff from Muscle Rodz -- Ditto
I've bought stuff from Morrison -- Ditto
I've bought stuff from The Shop LLC -- Ditto
I've bought stuff from Ring Brothers -- Ditto
If I've read ONE THREAD about non delivery -- chalk that up to a bad "something" -- If I've read repeatedly over and over about some vendor regardless of the excuse laden posts I'm not buying anything from that guy period no way, no how, ever... I remember the old "caveat emptor" -- let the buyer beware.

Exactly, Summit and Jegs already carry Fesler and Ring Brother stuff. They stock there shelves with it. As soon as THEY start carrying subframes and more pro-touring type stuff. I wouldn't even try to compete. You can get stuff in 2 days with them.
