Why would Triumph USA ship parts to Bike Bandit before they ship to parts to Triumph dealerships? Any Triumph dealership in good standing with Triumph USA can get parts in a week or less. Also, I can't imagine a dealership wouldn't ship parts to you, it's not some kind of rocket science only Bike Bandit has expertise in. Besides Bike Bandit won't be any help when you need it, but a dealership you have a relationship with will.
