Although i don't live in the states getting a new distributer would be a great move by TM and as said earlier have a west,central and east coast set up so parts would become very easy to get and cheaper as it would create healthy competition in the market place. I just hope you have a LOT of money as i have heard here in Australia when we changed distributer he needed to buy over AUD$400 000 worth of stock to win the contract.(This is just what i've been told). HEI were the old distributers now we use Zauber imports and there's been no real issues.
Good luck i hope it works out for you
