Default Baisley spring-where to buy?

Where is the best place to buy a Baisley LMR-002 spring? Zipper's has lost their friggin' minds if they expect me to pay $13.95 UPS ground shipping on a $12.95 spring.
Thanks.

any of the products that increase spring pressure to raise oil pressure work fine.im sure your local shop can get something (we just shim the spring here)

Shipping is what shipping is in their defense, and if they have to run to the local Post Office in order to establish a lower rate, pay an employee, in a company vehicle, that is absolutely out of the question. I know all about that.
But that said, in the pre-06 Dyna set-ups, a .200" shim will bump the pressure up about 15 psi.
Any thicker and the relief valve may start to act odd.

Yeah, I don't know how they handle their shipping but at my work it gets dropped in a box, label printed and attached and UPS schedules a pickup or it is handed to the letter carrier when they bring the mail. But it's irrelevant.
Scott, I'll be calling you soon about some headwork on the wife's bike.
Thanks for the reply.

I now have a different question for you guys. What shim thickness would be correct to shim the stock spring on a 2008 TC engine?

I bought mine directly from Baisley. I can't remember what they charge me for shipping, but it wasn't $13.95.

On the 2006 Dyna's and all 2007-up engines we don't use a shim or spring, plenty-o-pressure right from the Moco.
