Oh boy. Well someone is going to say Newspeedmaster.com is bad, but his was a fairly isolated experience. The vast majority of their customers (myself included) have had good experiences with them. You shouldn't discount the bad experiences entirely, just keep them in perspective. There aren't really any bad vendors out there when you're talking about businesses who make/sell parts specifically for our bikes. FastEddysports.com is good. Bellacorse.com is good. I think most if not all the vendors listed in the Tech Vault are good. Haven't heard much about British-customs, good or bad. BikeBandit can be slow to ship depending one where they get the parts from, but they have a great web site. I'm sure there are plenty of shady types on ebay. As always you pays yer money and you takes yer chances there.
Oh, I had a bad experience about 7-8 years ago with Bill Gately of BonnevillePerformance.com, but it wasn't over a part or transaction (it was an altercation over SPAM). Indeed, some people worship the ground he hobbles on (sorry, bad joke), but he's basically dead to me (and vice versa).

I second the recommendation of Fast Eddy - quality stuff, good prices, fast shipping! I've bought from him, and will buy again.

I have purchased trinkets and bling from both Newspeedmaster & Fast Eddies. Never any problems, goods arrive in 7 - 10 days down here. Except for Christmas time, but that's the postal systems in both countries.
Quality of parts was excellent and exactly as described on their web sites.
Both have great communication via email, thoroughly recommend both.

I've had positive experiences with newspeedmaster, fasteddysports, britishcustoms, bulldogblues and bonnevilleperformance. I don't recall getting screwed by any vendor. Or ebay for that matter.

As well as the above I have bought from Norman Hyde, Dart Flyscreens & Jack Lilley Triumph, all in the UK.
Excellent service and communications, goods always delivered within 7 - 9 days to Australia.
