I think the problem is too many of these online vendor's only focus is getting the orders. They do not realize that if you are slow filling orders (especially for repair or fabrication pieces) they hold up work. If they do that very many times the customer will not order from them again. ...J.D.

Many instances true. Also first time customers do not know how the company operates and first impressions are important. This is a custom build shop that also sells parts. His main interest is builds, I suspect.
 
Some vendors, and oddly enough some areas of the country seem to be in a time warp. There is a vendor in Texas I completely quit doing business with. I like their stuff, but they are SO SLOW ! I also have trouble getting electronic parts in general. With no good source locally, I try to buy stuff like relays, switches, electrical plugs, etc. I find a lot of the vendors from out of the country do not know the basic specifications. Such thing as sending me A.C. relays when I ordered D.C. for example. But I once waited 9DAYS to get 2 D.C. relays from right here in California. 80 miles away ! Vendor was angry at me for giving them a poor review on EBay. ...J.D.
I have order electrical/electronic parts from several places, none of whom (so far) have been unresponsive or slow on my orders. My list has been Digi-key, Mouser Electric, Allied Electric and one more that slips my mind. I will admit most of my orders were pre-lockdown. I did order capacitors from Allied, at the beginning of the lockdown, to replace all of the electrolytic caps in my pre-amp.

I may need connectors. There was a thread here recently, I’ll check those and if I need other stuff I’ll check out your list.
 
Well the last of my mod orders came. It appears the vendor from California who indicated it had a polished front fender didn’t. The reason I ordered from him instead of Motone in Texas was that Motone site did not have the polished listed. It also turns out the vendor from California made an order straight from the Texas company and they filled the order with what they had. So I got all my order, but the front fender is brushed and not polished. I guess I’ll be polishing it until it shines. I should probably mention this to the vendor. Not unhappy just slightly disappointed. I suspected the hold up was that he didn’t have the product. Turns out he didn’t have any of the product. LoL.

All tips on polishing appreciated! LoL.

Yes...I need to work on my contact list for electrical components...J.D.
 
Teasers, I’ll make a new thread when I’m finished. I’m working on modifying the license plate bracket. I deleted it off the brake light fender delete kit and will attach a separate one under the brake light. I’ve combined a British Customs fender delete kit with a Motone rear fender.

Looking great so far. Yes, they are teasers. Be nice to see the WHOLE bike with all the goodies installed.
I plan on working on the license plate bracket today. After it’s done I’ll be finished with the visual mods. What remains is the adjustment and installing of the jets, I need to see if I can find out what the recommendations are for my setup.
