Default Kudos from the UK to US suppliers

Just wanted to let everyone know that two suppliers have provided excellent service to me in the UK. They are Dr. V Twin and Long Ride Shields

With parts prices going through the roof it makes little sense to order from UK based vendors. Both Dr. V Twin and Long Ride Shields were more than happy to supply parts to the UK at great prices.

Thanks Shawn of Dr. V Twin and James of Long Ride Shields for everything - I'll be sure to recommend you both.

And now some pics of the bits


My custom ultra flip windshield with my logo etched into it - difficult to see but it looks great!

Always love this view!

They used my Fedex account to ship to me. I've had to wait weeks sometimes for items shipped via USPS.

I'd prefer to pay a little extra to have the packages arrive in a couple of days.

Average cost is between Ł35-45

Great looking bike you have there, plasmadaddy.
Clean looking with the extended bags and LED lights.
