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.

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.
