QM200GY/QLINK XF200 Center Stand

**barnone** · 03-24-2011, 12:14 PM

Though I'd start a new thread on the center stand that Luis Carlos found at

http://www.motorfans.com.cn/bbs/t_16927271.htm

and

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=9712042796

I tried ordering via taobao FOCUS at http://taobaofocus.com/order
as jape suggested but so far have not been able to get registered there and am waiting for an email back from them.

humanbeing suggested the following which I do not understand
"Contact method of that seller : http://member1.taobao.com/member/use...23c0e1813e.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent_QQ/ 先锋藏獒 in that t_16927271.htm/ His surname is Sòng (宋) . Pioneer domestic sales guy.
Most Qingqi/ Pioneer parts seller are in Shandong. If need someone from here to help, a nearer person (Beijing to Shanghai) is better. http://shipping.ebay.cn/ had many suggestion option for int'l shipping. You can compare "TB agents" rate to that shipping page. Some agent are... sharks

"

Anyway I would appreciate some help trying to order this center stand.
95 yuan = $15 USD?
Thanks

hb,
Thanks for the info. Could you be my agent and contact the seller for the weight?

I think I ordered the cs with Focus.

So far the center stand has cost me $23usd with the price, commission, and local shipping. Great deal but the killer will be air mail to the USA and will probably be two or three times the cost of the CS.

Dear Barnone,

Great experiment. As a control, I just googled for a center stand for a KLR650. OK, it's a bigger bike, but it's also renowned for the frugality of its owners (including me), so you'd have no market for an overpriced stand. And, like the Qingqi, it comes without a stock center stand. If you want one, there's no choice but aftermarket. The aftermarket stand that seems most widely used for the KLR650 is the SW-Motech, and it sells on the web for $139, before tax and shipping/handling.

So by that measure, even if you end up spending $50 or even $75 for air freight, you are in for $100 or less -- still well below what you'd pay buying "locally". And I'd be that Motech stand is made in China, too!

cheers
