Now is the time to buy those relay holders, rim strips, banjo bolt washers, airbox to carb rubbers (inlet Rubbers), manifold to carb rubbers, Cam Cover screw seals, etcetera! Promotional sale this week only...Podium members get free shipping. (Best $29.95 I've spent in a long time I might add as I have placed 9 orders. At $8.95 a pop for shipping, if not a podium member, that would have been $80.55)

Yeah buy one of those fuse box covers now as the price is $10.86. Might want to purchase a piston/seal kit for the calipers too (enter this number in the search box as the bandit schematic is wrong --> 2020050-T0301), Normally $84.58 now $67.66.

Do you guys have any recommendations as to OEM tools that would be useful for:
Replacing clutch
Shimming valves

Are the tools listed for clutch on Bike Bandit (clutch push restraint, and clutch holding plate) necessary? I am thinking of buying stuff like this and gasket sets while on sale. The dealers and importers here add up to 400% on OEM parts.

Wait, you need more than the allen wrench Triumph provides?

ATTENTION AUSSIES!

If you buy from Bike Bandit they will charge you 20% GST during your checkout. (For the benefit of non-Aussies reading this we only pay 10% sales tax here). Their website FAQ states payment of taxes or duty is the responsibility of international customers. So they shouldn't have charged any tax at all and certainly not 20%!

When I complained they told me that they refund the tax after the transaction BUT ONLY when you send them an email with your order number. They don't tell you that anywhere on their website. So those who don't complain or bother checking their invoice end up paying 20% more!


This is a transcript of their reply:

Ryan - Sales: How may I assist you today?
(me) Hi, I am an international buyer (Australia) and have just made a purchase. I have been charged 20% GST. Your website states that international customers are responsible for their own tax and duties. And our GST is only 10% anyway. Can you explain this please. Cheers, Richard
Ryan - Sales: With the Australian orders, we will credit you back the taxes on orders below $1000 after the order is placed.
Ryan - Sales: Unfortunately, we cannot deduct them during a purchase.
Ryan - Sales: But you may email your order ID Number which will be provided at the end of the purchase to (their service email address which I have deleted here)
Ryan - Sales: and they will issue the credit back to the original form of payment.
Ryan - Sales: During checkout, you will be able to view the 20% savings on Original Equipment Manufacturer parts

Update: They have now transferred the credit for the tax.

But remember they don't do this unless you ask!

If anyone is looking for garden gate badges you can order each piece separate and for ~$160. (1999 Thunderbird)

Decided to order a Thunderbird Cush rubber while the sale is on as shipping is free for podium members. Total cost $65.86. Not bad at all. (Still sucks that the stock one is wrong)

The only reason I joined was for the free shipping. I order what I want when I want it without the worry of shipping charges, like above! Placed an order 8/25/2012 and then the one today.

Received all my recently ordered, oem parts today from the Bandit today. That's a day over two weeks.
