You are so right on this one, remember Texas Fairing and their BS. Some of these companies are just a little to quick to grab the money and run. (I purchased from them, it is a first hand experience)
But on the other hand some of them offer outstanding customer service.
Superbike Racing - returned wheel after two months when modifications plan changed and remounted tire for me as well. only cost shipping, Andrew is one of the best and I know others will say the same.
Yoyodyne Titanium - Purchased a set of PFM front calipers and rotors, they sent wrong caliper( two lefts instead of a L & R) replaced in two days. Fred was right there to make sure I recieved the right parts and was happy with the product.
FreeStyle MotoDesign - Purchased an underfrnder and light kit, needed a pig tail for light fixtures. FSMD found me the US General Motors part number. Olivier found the part niumbers for the pigtails with in days of the request, he even placed a call to make sure I recieved the information.
Some of these companies really care about the consumer and some of the others are there just to grab the buck. Support the good and do away with the bad, this is the beauty of this site and the net.
In numbers we do matter - remember the cutout problem.
Hayabusa.org is a wonderful thing!
