Hi ya'll. My local dealer has dropped the Triumph line. He says he can still get the parts, but heck, if I've got to order all my parts to rebuild my bike, I might as well elliminate the middle man and go right to the source. I live in the southeastern USA. There are two other dealers within 100 to 150 miles from me in Jackson, MS and New Orleans, LA. However, UPS and Fedex run by my house every day. My question is, who in the southeast or USA might ya'll suggest I use to order my new Triumph parts from? For example, who do the local dealers use?  Thank you for your thoughts and time.
Its more fun to be ridin'! I'm still ridin

I'm pretty sure the dealers order from Triumph US out of Newnan, GA. This is a resource we don't have access to. Lots of board members order from MADSS At least they offer a discount on accessories. Not sure about replacement parts.

You can find OEM parts here. I doubt a dealer will let you have the OEM parts for less.

Only thing to keep in mind with Bike Bandit is they seem to be a little on the slow side of delivery. No personal experience with them , just speaking to what others have posted.

I've used Bike Bandit probably 6-7 times over the last couple of years.
Their average delivery time is about 10 days to 2 weeks.
Keep in mind that they stock practically nothing.
When you place your order, they in turn order it from Triumph and then send it on to you.
I've never needed anything from them on an emergency basis and was OK with these delivery terms.

I've used BB a lot. Yes they can be slow, especially for more obscure parts. But these are also parts (say, intake and exhaust valves) that almost no dealer stocks. Or good luck finding the dealer who does have them. And Zod help you if, in that obscure parts order that takes 6 weeks to arrive, you forget something. When I bent my valves a couple years ago I ordered a mess of parts, valves, gaskets, seals, etc., but I forgot the alternator cover gasket. DOH! That didn't take another 6 weeks but it did keep me off the road for a while longer than necessary.
