Baker Built AirWings ripoff killer

[taxfree4]

Having had enough of these hillbilly ripoff artists and their snapcap cartel I dedicated 2 hours in Home Depot to find something to shut them down and I did. Drop dead you bastards, you've seen the last of my money.

Always satisfying to find a cheaper, substitute item locally.

I destroyed my plastic bolt hole covers on my aftermarket luggage rack; a trip to Lowe's yielded the same type plastic plugs.

It is ridiculous that shipping can cost more; than the item's cost itself

I never minded anyone making money but no one, not even Baker, would pay more for shipping than the actual product but they have no problem charging it.

Nice call-out on that one TF. The most USPS First Class for a "First Class Mail" envelope should cost is only $2.00 The envelopes are free at USPS (at least at the two places near me so their handling fee is over the top for sure. Then to find that same item at your local BBS for even less, and better quality from the sound of it, icing on the cake.

Here is the same item...only quantity of 100. They ship in a bag similar to what you got from Ohio....for about $0.10 per unit after shipping charge is applied, and they ship Priority Mail.

Nice video and right on, but are you sure that calling the covers from Baker "Japanese Garbage" wasn't a slight slip of the tongue...As the F6B's are made in Japan and one of the best bikes available, I am pretty sure you meant to say "Chinese Garbage" instead....Regards

I was in the moment and I lose my filter but thanks for the heads up.

The way I lose these things I'd probably be better off buying 100 at a time.

Where do these things go on the Baker's? I don't recall seeing, installing or losing them!
