Cover ordered
« on: May 29, 2015, 11:21:35 AM »
I am living temporarily in Branson, Missouri and the C14 is sitting outside. I wanted a cover for it and decided on the Kawasaki cover. I thought I would patronize Ron Ayers and put in my order on May 21. I received confirmation and an estimated arrival date of May 29. On May 28 I received an order update saying the order was cancelled, the cover was discontinued. The fact the cover was discontinued isn't the fault of the dealer, but they should have removed the item from their website.

I had seen the cover listed on Amazon but had decided to order from Ayers. I went back to Amazon after having the order canceled and they showed they still had one cover left in stock. The company offering the cover is Louis Powersports. I placed my order on the 28th and received confirmation, then less than two hours later I received a notice saying the cover was shipped. The cover is estimated to be here Monday June 8.

I was disappointed that Ayers took so long to notify me the cover was not available, but am happy I found one. I wanted the stock cover, but would have gone with a Nelson Rigg cover had a Kawasaki cover not been available.

What you describe is a very common problem these days, and it is very annoying. It would seem to be easy to deny an order if the on-hand quantity is zero.

As much as I like dummies, Branson is not the place for me.

I'm actually enjoying it so far. For me it has been good. I can finally ride the motorcycle to the show since I can leave things on the boat. I rode to a show two time in my 30 year career up until now. This is great for a change. My wife and I hope to get out and explore on the bike. We will probably ride into Arkansas and around. I should have time to ride to see my family in Iowa on a day off as well. They are only about 3 hours and 40 minutes away.

He was strapped on the back inside a trunk the other day. He once was inside a Pelican case and flew off at about 45mph onto the road. Thankfully the Pelican case protected him.

Thanks! Yep, that would be me. Let me know when you are coming and I might actually be able to arrange a discount. No promises, but possible.

I'll have to ask the wife. I live on a golf course so maybe you can pitch a tent on the fairway. I'm sure they won't mind, but you may have to duck when you get out of the tent.

Wow!  So what does your wife think about riding in a trunk strapped to the seat?  Pelican case, aren't they supposed to fly?

I'm not sure what she thinks, I can't hear her in the case.

Well, the tracking for my order said I would receive the cover on June 8. I just got a package at the door and it is the cover, on June 1. Very nice. I ordered it May 28. Fantastic service!

The cover looks very nice. It is the OEM Kawasaki cover. The back has a zipper to allow it to fit with a top box. The back part expands when unzipped.
