I'm for this. I believe if you buy from the U.S. and not support the Canadian market then your warranty work should go back to the U.S. . Being a owner of a motorcycle repair shop , I have done the exact same thing. If you choose not to purchase the part from me then I will not honour any warranty with something purchased in the US . I do agree that prices here are a bit high but unfortunately this is Canada and prices will always be higher. Lastly I've purchased US and if something needs to be repaired I'll send it back to the U.S. . My two cents
