    I ordered a bunch of stuff once from them and got it in no time. They even put a bag of M&M's in the box too, I ate them and didn't die so I can't complain.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

        Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with Bike Bandit. A month ago I ordered tires, grips and a few other things. I received everything within 3 days, got fantastic prices, and received free tire irons in the deal along with a partial shipping credit on a combined order that I asked for after the fact(read...they didn't have to give me a credit!).
        I would most certainly buy from them again....don't know what happened in your case?

        ....reference this thread for some history.... http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=185455

        ...btw, Z1 is great to deal with too.

            Let's see, I have done business with BikeBandit, Mottoman, Alpha, Z1, PartShark, Dennis Kirk (a few others as well that I can't recall right at the moment) and no problems with any of them.

              I have had great customer service out of BikeBandit, my only complaints are they don't use Suzuki part #'s, order time seems longer than some others and prices on Suzuki parts could be better.

                If you hate BB, you probably won't like Babbitts either.
                They told me there was an "wordwide delay" on pilot jets for my 650, screwed my order up and nothing but "excuses" for months.
                **** them....never again!

                I'll stick with stockers, Z1 and DK!
                (and a few others I can't remember)

                    I just looked and I was able to look up the exhaust system parts. What are you looking to find?

                          Schematic Search Results: (0 total matches) This is all I get when i hit the GO button....

                          EDIT:::: So they have changed their site yet again..like at least 6 times in the last year. Anyways i wasnt used to looking at the left side column..found the schematics. I just dont understand why places have something thats working and everyone gets used to it a certain way and they go in and Fvck with it. Leave well enough alone.

                                I never buy anything from them as their prices are too out of scale..just use as a reference from time to time..
