GrizzlyGriff Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I saw on a You Tube review of the Titan that there is a recall pertaining to early goggles. Apparently you can get a replacement foam seal that works better at sealing and keeping the goggles from fogging. Has anyone heard about this?

gobills Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I'd love to know as well. Do you have the link of the review? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Check with WB. The Kimpex rep was talking about some improvements that were made from the early ones when Moosifer was getting his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevester Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yes I got mine a month or so after having the helmet 2 years ago. Last year the electric googles broke the cord from the lens and went to ORPS and they have me an updated one no hassle at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take the goggles in to your retailer for inspection to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last fall I picked up a new titan with the updated googles, half way through the season my wire broke too where it bends into the foam, luckily I had enough wire to re attach the wires together, besides the update foam they should look into the wire, either reroute it so there isn’t such an aggressive bend or change the gauge of it to a bit thicker..

It now has a protective sleeve for it. Mine broke in the same spot. Luckily it was the end of the trip and happened just as I was taking it off.

That’s good to know, hopefully it solves the problem as it’s a great helmet/google combo.. 33 minutes ago, GrizzlyGriff said: Re taking it in to my retailer.

WinderFab Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Bill you always helped me out when I was at your store.. Do you have the CKX heated yellow lens google in stock? Since I can’t ride without a heated visor or google and mine has a fixed broken wire I’m thinking of getting a second pair to keep on me while riding in case my google fails.

WinderFab Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I was told by Royal management that kimpex wanted to raise the prices on there whole product line and royal wanted to be loyal as possible to the customers and did not want to raise the prices so they dropped the kimpex line.

Lol.. From what I understand, Kimpex wanted Royal to raise the advertised price in their book to keep them on par with all of the other dealers (they can sell in store for whatever they want to). Royal did not want to do that so Kimpex pulled out of there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Channel conflict! Kimpex serves a number of customers and as such limits advertised prices to prevent smaller dealers getting run over and quitting their products. Not unusual.

Kimpex serves a number of customers and as such limits advertised prices to prevent smaller dealers getting run over and quitting their products. Not unusual. It is called Minimum Advertised Pricing and is being done by many distributors such as Camso etc (thats why there is no camso pricing in the royal catalog ) Kimpex had warned ALL of the dealers etc to follow it or suffer the consequences. That was the consequences. We follow the MAP pricing policy after all it is quite a discount anyhow in the end it means that your local dealer can compete and give good customer service and that the wholesaler does not have all of their eggs in one basket you will find that most distributors have a MAP policy on current goods. What we sell for in our store is our business what we advertise it for is the business of the brands to prevent what is know as brand destruction.

What you refer to as Brand Destruction was called In the computer industry as Channel Conflict. If we, as a distributor, were to advertise prices equal or lower than what our Value Added Resellers were buying (from us) for, we would not have many resellers and the manufacturer would drop us. This was written into our distributor agreement, and further into the reseller agreements. It is all to keep the Brand and channel clear to flow product efficiently.

You are right in the Tomato tomatoe . The rule that refers to a distributors ability to do this is listed as brand destruction under the minimum advertised price rule so that is what I referred to. Channel conflict seems a bit too sophisticated this industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
