I've ordered a few parts for my 84 big red and had no problems at all. It just took awhile to get the that it. I believe there parts list are updated since I've ordered stuff that is not available anymore but was about a year ago. If they don't carry the parts you need it will say discountinued and the price next to it is usually 999.99 which I have no clue why.

Bikebandit
I just ordered a bunch of parts from Bikebandit (My first time). They emailed me the same day saying that one part is backordered and the rest is being gathered from several of their distributors. Their email stated it should ship in 3-4 workking days so we'll see.

Bikebandit is alright, I have used them before. I was trying to restore a '72 SL125. They did not carry parts for that bike as it is too old but it seems like the 80's on up they have stuff available. I have ordered parts for a '03 DRZ400 Suzuki and a '83 Honda V45. They get thier parts from different distributors, so it can take awhile.

I've ordered from them a few times.Had to wait 1 time for 3 wks for a few ytm200 parts that were backordered.I didnt mind b/c I didnt need the parts right away.Other than that everything else was on time.
I dont think you can call them.Last time I checked there wasn't a phone# on the site or on any of my paperwork from them. The last time I had a question,I had to use thier chatroom,,and only during business hrs(8-5)pacific time.The person on the other end was very helpful and could type faster than anyone I've ever chatted with,lol.

edit: errrr ,,7am to 7pm is thier business hrs M-Thursday and 7am to 6pm on Friday

ive used them 4 or 5 times, and they are very good on letting you any discontinued parts right away thru an email, as well as anything backorders. If you spend under 25 bucks, shipping is only 4 bucks for USPS parcel post which is pretty fast. Over 25, shipping is only like 8 bucks. I really think they are one of the better places out there.

I live in Ohio, and if theyve got the stuff in stock, Ill get it in 2 days. I ordered a Z sidecover gasket on Tuesday, and got it on Thursday. If they have to search their distributors and order it, it can take up to a couple of weeks. They ship very quickly, but they cant ship what they dont have. Its not like everybody has 25 year old parts laying on the shelves all over the place anyways. Anywhere you go, your probably have to wait, unless you get lucky and order something they happen to have. With Bikebandit, Im confident the stuff will come eventually, and they will ship it as soon as they get it.
