Old bike barn, WTF?
« on: January 25, 2013, 01:02:16 PM »
2 weeks before my air filters even boxed up to ship.  3 weeks and still no filters.  And this is the slow riding season, thank goodness.

OBB is still in business?
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

From my experience both OBB and Bike Bandit have been notoriously slow in processing orders.

Coils for my Kawasaki H1A took about 6 weeks.  They were cheap & do work well though...

If you would have done a search you would get to see all the negative reviews they have as far as stuff being horribly late, etc.

I found out when I was first putting my 550 together and didn't know better. I haven't ordered anything from either in a long time.

 I have never heard good things about Old Bike Barns. I usually buy stuff from Z1 enterprise.http://www.z1enterprises.com/ . I have never ever had any issues with them since I stated to use them in 2008
If it is electric parts, Can not beat  Oregon motorcycle Parts.
