Bike Bandit

Interesting article - I had no idea (but not ordering much in the way of parts right now). I did look - and had ordered a battery from them back in 2020.

The online parts seller declared bankruptcy in February, but the website stayed up, leading thousands of customers to pay for orders they would never receive.

I used Bike Bandit a lot when I built my Street Tracker, but haven't used them since 2020. I hate to see any on-line store take advantage of anyone, but it especially hurts when it's the motorcycle community.

I knew something was wrong. I ordered parts from them in August of 2020, planning to do some repair work over the winter. Parts for my Yamaha, Suzuki and Polaris RZR. Parts were delivered August 2021. It was a little over $120 for some factory bolts and fasteners. They were half the price of other suppliers, including my go to suppliers of Cheap cycle parts.com and Competition Accessories (compacc.com) Both of which have closed down mid May. Glad I got my May 5th order from them...... It's tough to stay in business nowadays
