Is ALBA all its cracked up to be? Any better / Cheapter then buying it and putting in a pipe & jets?

 

I don't think that Alba is that great IMO.
I got my 02 in November of 01 for $6199 out the door & got $300 worth of free accessories.
You can get one now for around $5900.
Buy a raptor & put on your own choice of pipe (I love my Sparks X6) & grafix kit. You get the pipe that you want & the grafix kit you want for about the same money as Alba (mabey less after shipping).
Alba has some nice accessories for your Raptor though.

Check out my Raptor onMy Web Site & tell me what you think.

 

The Alba pipe works great. IMO. As for their deal it would be a good one if they didn't tack on all these extra charges. Some guy here was considering buying one and was told $8200.00 OTD. Thats rediculous. At $6499.00 your looking at $7200.00 OTD You do get aprox $600.00 worth of bolt ons with the Alba bike. But if you can get Mooses deal and buy the $600.00 worth of extras yourself your saving some money. You can always call them and see what kind of deal you'll get. I would think there would be someone much closer to you to get a quad from. There is suppose to be a good place in Chicago I believe. Chicagocycles.com. Not sure. Good luck.

 

Yeah, I was considering buying a Banshee, so I thought, hell, Alba is offering a nice deal... I'll call them. Well, I figured the Banshee w/ all the added stuff to be like, $6,700 (or somewhere around there w/o tax & shipping) and when I called Alba, they told me for everything with tax, shipping, and all that other crap, it would cost me somewhere around $7,100! Those aren't the exact #'s (my figuring and their price) but it's pretty close and I have yet to find the "good deal" in that.

 

IMHO Alba is over priced. Check out their web, their prices are higher and They clutter their kicka$$ graphics with their name. Hey I'm all for plugs but 6" letters on my tank ?? I'll pass thanks anyway

Their Stars and Stripes grafix are some of the best I have seen. I have a picture of some on my site, check it out if you like.

 

Alba is a little over priced for not having any serious mods done to the bike. Buy graphics from your dealer for about $60.00 Then look for a pipe $199-$300. Add a Dynojet for about $150.00 and you got what you just bought from alba. Plus you will learn a little about the bike while doing your own mods. Don't buy a T.V. Dinner!
