I see this as a win for the dealers in that they don't have to stock so much in parts that they might not even sell.
For me, all my parts come via mail, just don't have time to drive to a dealer for parts even if they have what I need. Doesn't matter to me where my parts come from, just so I get them prompt.
Clay for Sherco you have the parts and bikes under your control, I could see this being an option you need to run past your existing dealers.
Gas Gas is a different story, bikes and parts coming from two different locations. That is working fine, sure would not mess with that.
I would hope the dealers would keep common wear items on hand.
If I call Rich or Budd with a parts order I could care less that some parts come from what they have available and remainder came from direct from you.
What I don't think you want is everyone calling you for parts.
