Kudos to Bike Bandit

I gotta give this place credit. I ordered a tire for my '81 Thursday, around 2pm or so. Got an email with shipping info at 3:45pm Friday. I checked the tracking number at that time, and it showed the tire was already out for delivery HERE at 2:45pm! It was waiting for me at the house when I got home. ONE DAY SERVICE!
I did some checking, and Bike Bandit DOES have either warehouses, or partners in many states/areas. That gives them an advantage as far as timely deliveries. I was shocked....it usually takes a week to get a tire from somewhere. Anyway, just wanted to pass along my most excellent first adventure with Bike Bandit. Good prices, and quick service....cain't beat that! :clapping:

Every time I order from them I am happy. For OEM parts, they seem to be quicker at getting them to me, but you pay a little more for that speed.

Yup, they've been nothing but good so far! Glad you're back ridin' again, Joel! Be safe!

I've never ordered anything from them because their prices always seemed to be higher for anything I needed but might be worth another look.

The tire I got was cheaper from them than any of the other places I looked or normally buy from. The oil filter came today, too, all the way from Callyfornya. I wasn't really in a hurry for it anyway.....I just got one to get the total order up to get free shippping! :hihihi: I definitely look at them next time I need something. :yes:

What tire did you get? I recently started looking for a new Shinko and usually BB is cheaper, but this time around Motorcycle-Superstore was.

I don't think you will be as happy with the 712 as the 230 Tourmaster , others have complained of the lack of milage and I am pretty sure the load rating is a little light

On a Sportster it might be ok. I was happy with the 712 when I had the rear on my bike set up as naked. As soon as I put the interstate bags on it, a completely different story.

Ill keep that in mind when i buy tires for the wing thanks

I got the Dunlop 404....I've had decent results with them in the past, even tho it's not really rated for a heavy bike.....but it fits, and for the price(compared to others) I can afford to replace it every year...which I have been having to do. :crying:
