I am new to owning Arctic Cats and have been searching the web looking for the best deals on OEM accessories. Found lots of places, but no real deals yet. Seems like the places I find have good prices, but charge for shipping or free shipping and the prices are not that great.

At this point, the 10% I get from my selling Dealer is about the best I've found so far and that sucks.

So where is everyone getting their OEM accessories from?

Thanks, Mike.

 

Depends on what you're getting. A lot of places have free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. Some places it's 75 others 100 dollars. Check closeouts and sales too. Singing up for a few sites emails can get you 10-20% sometimes too. And there's always ebay.

 

Why OEM? Aftermarket companies like ,Corbins, Kimpex and Carlisle and many others could be cheaper and better.

 

I do have some aftermarket accessories, but there are a few that I want that are OEM.

I want the rear bumper for my Atv and I like the OEM one. I also have the speed racks and there is a few things I found that I want. As far as the $100 or more for free shipping, I am around $500 plus for the items I want.

 

Most sites I've been to and got OEM parts right off the micro fiche were about 10-20% than dealer prices. You can always call them directly and tell them the price you are getting from the dealer. They might give you a better price than just clicking a box online.

 

I've lucked out a few times on EBAY for OEM accessories. A few yrs ago I stumbled across a warehouse liquidation site that bought out a CABELA's AC product line and was selling stuff at a ridiculously low price with free shipping. I stocked up.

OEM vs aftermarket I've found is determined by neccesity & $$$$. OEM definately FITS better as it's designed for your machine - (specifically the speedrack applications) - I've combined AC mounts to aftermarket items with good success too.
