Yeah, BB is good for the common stuff. Plus if you are an AMA member, you get 10% off.

My issue was the primary tps back when they were hard to come by. No word from BB for 30 days then I get a short note saying my order was cancelled. No reason given. Just cancelled. When I investigated, I learned that they are not an authorized Triumph parts distributor so they weren't in line when new parts are sent out by the Atlanta center.

Welcome to the forum.
Not to criticize, but you might have maybe straightened the bent parts, ordered new, and been riding all along? Just sayin'. Hope you get it "straightened" soon.

That is exactly what I was going to say ... Mine fell over when it sank into the pavement at a ****ty gas station, bent the shifter and rod while on a trip to Niagara. Walked over to the John Deere store and borrowed a pry bar.

Already have my roll of duct tape loaded on my bike for MV

Don't forget the bailing wire and vice grips.

Didn't I see McGuiver weld a piston rod back together with a nickle and jumper cables? LOL

It might not have been the best choice for you, people make mistakes.
