I'll add Babbits to Rocky Mountain and Ron Ayer...Bike Bandit is ok too.

One thing I do is actually call them and see if they got it in stock and when it will ship before placing my order .....very rarely will I order from a web site without a phone number to call em.....one exception being egghead for computer stuff..but they kick azz online.

That's BS about "processing time". It's a stall. If a company can't ship in a (business) day or two then they're 2nd rate wannbees.

Does anybody else find Finger Mullet irresitably spunky??

My experience with Ron Ayers is also good with the caveat that they generally don't stock much, but order it themselves, then ship to you. But being in NC, shipping to you is very fast. Even if you only choose ground, you'll get it in a day or maybe 2. But that is AFTER Ron Ayers gets the part, so it may actually be a week or so, depending. But they are generally up front about the expected times to get the part to you, if I recall, so there should be no surprises. Been a while since I ordered from them, though, but that's how was a year or two back.

not to sound like a "know it all" but you don't have nearly enough screws in that tire if you plan on riding on the ice.

Soon as I seen the screws in the tires, I remember seeing that guy scrambling on his hands and knees to get off the ice race course in the original movie 'On Any Sunday'

CUDOS TO www.JUSTGASTANKS.COM. My Acerbis tank arrived 2 days ago!! I've dry fitted it and it looks like a GREAT fit. No choke interferance at all.

So, as usual, the LAST part to install on the complete project comes FIRST!! Still waiting on the card mods.

I cancelled my order with speedsupplies.com a full week before their expected "ship date" both via email and via their customer service notice on their site (as they request). I received no response. A week later I get an email saying my order will ship "today or tomorrow". I contacted them and reminded them that I had cancelled the order and now they want to charge a 25% "RESTOCKING FEE" on items they didn't even have in stock to begin with.

After doing a google search I see that www.speedsupplies.com should have been avoided. I agree. www.speedsupplies.com is definately not a good choice.
