Default magic box cheap?

I just ordered ARC amp, and I want to use Cyclesounds black box. They want $18 shipping and $5+ tax. Anyone know of another site selling the black box? JP is overpriced also. Not remotely interested in letting dealer touch my bike.

Thanks!

I would call CS and ask them when their magic box deluxe will be ready. It should be within the next week or so. Can you hold off until then?

I took this right from their FB page comment on May 20th. .....

The original Magic Box series is passive, meaning you cannot manipulate the sound or voltage. It is predetermined. The deluxe gives you an active position, that allows you to adjust the input to your aftermarket amplifier. In short, it gives
you more control of the output of your system.

I emailed Ed on June 4th. to ask when they will be ready, his reply was...

Still building up the first articles should be a month and a half or so

Thanks!
That was my complaint too about the Magic Box... that much shipping for something I put in a small padded envelope & mail for $3.

Price the thing where you want it & charge reasonable shipping charges. Raping me on charges leaves a real bad taste. Can you tell?

I agree 100%, had the same experience wanting to order something from Native Baggers.
