Has anyone here done business with these guys? I'm considering spending some dollars there and I'd like to know what peoples experiences are with them.

Awesome! That's similar to what I heard from the shop that would be doing the work ( Trophy Motorcycles ).

I'm still in the piggy-bank savings mode though.

Actually the Air-box kit is one of the items I was going to get. Do you have any more specific info on the issues with their air-box kit? Do you have a suggestion for a better one?

This is what I'm thinking of getting:

Air-box kit
Sleeper Silencers
AI removal
Nology plugs, wires, coil

yeah, I have the Bc airbox removal and was not happy with it, but just the brackets for the cheese graters, the toolbox is great!

They need to ditch the splash screen. That crap is SOOOOOO 90's...

EDIT: HA. I thought that WordPress theme looked familiar. Heh. I really need to redesign my site.

Yes, they do! Never liked splash screens, they're a waste of time and space.

Bought a few things from them and have been happy.Great customer service,very friendly and helpful.I know it was high dollar but when my stock/plastic intakes started leaking I dug deep into my pockets and got there billet intake manifolds.Lots of $$$ but worth it.

They are a class act. Admittedly I have never purchased BC propucts for my America, but lots for my Thruxton. Their Preditor exhaust are the bomb. They have great service and are knowledgeable.

I'm not an air box removal kit expert, but it seems that different folks have issues with all the different kits, pluses and minuses. Check out NewBonniville.com, Bella-Corse and Bill Gatelys sites ETC. FYI one of my nephews has the BC kit on his Thruxton and loves it. shop around.
