Good to see that.Don't think they are going away, there is a new package for these in white for this part number thus far. Same price too.
None of those at my local WM, but the auto section there is just a medium sized compared to some.
I am a good 3-4 months from needing either a ST9688 or ST2, so I am ok for now.
Like I said, I am debating the HP7317 though for my bike that is due in a bit.
