I work on a lot of older bikes and tend to find oddball misc. parts and supplies there that no one else has. I don't buy a whole lot of stuff there but it's always in stock and ships quick.

They have been around forever. I remember ordering a jersey from them when I rode minis. That was like 30 years ago. I never heard any bad stories.

I order almost all of my motorcycle and snowmobile parts and accessories from there. I have never had them deliver a wrong part, everything is packaged properly, and everything is delivered within three days. A+ in my opinion.

I've used them for 15+ years. No complaints.

Actually have to downgrade them to a B bcuz they did away with they're catalogs..I've got big thick Dennis Kirk catalogs for every year dating back to the early 90's. Should see em...they're two stacks of em piled Up 6' tall. They quit making catalogs in 2013 I think and I started buying from other vendors....I like catalogs!

Newman,

Ronnies has online Fiche for everything old. Great for finding part numbers.

Yep, don't always look there first but have used them multiple times when the other big guys didn't have it in stock. Very satisfied with their prices, shipping, and customer service.

I had a very bad experience with them a long time ago. Their customer service was terrible when they sent the wrong part. I won't ever order from them again. They don't support the sport at all so why would you buy from them when there are plenty of others that do.

Yes they do ship fast and have some different oddball parts but they are a little bit higher than most online shops. I used them in the 90's a good bit. They do big discounts on year end sales and leftover gear and helmets, you can get some bargains if you know when they do.

That is correct. It has been Parts Unlimited's back door for selling retail to the public for years. Great way to compete against and take sales away from their dealers and unload old inventory. But they are not the only distributors doing this, there are many other back door company's set up this way. I would think in the future Parts Unlimited and others will just sell direct to the public. OEM's may also do the same thing in the future. Brick and mortar dealerships are going to be a thing of the past.

X3!

Not as many as I thought were aware of PU owning Kirk.

The market is changing the makeup of wholesale/retail whether companies are ready for it or not.
