I don't think they have a web site. My SO brought me over when he first moved in. Said I didn't have to go if I didn't want to. He usually is there quite a while when he goes. He knows the guy and he's allowed to roam all over the building. So I decided to go with him once. This was before I got into bikes.
Now I go over all by myself. I know the guy, he lets ME roam around looking for parts. He's waiting for me to take my bike over. I was over there alot when I was looking for fender rails, horn, blinkers. Looked at all the different styles. Found the horn there. My SO says he likes me because I'm good looking (he's used to bikers in there all the time) and I'm a chick on a bike. I've always been treated nice by all the parts guys around. My SO says that the guys are impressed because I'm customizing and know what I'm talking about (well at least they think I do) and they're more than willing to spend time with me going through books looking for the right part. It's more interesting for them than just ordering by part number. As a matter of fact, I need to take my bike out for a good ride to all the parts guys that have helped me because they want to see the finished project. It will take me a whole day just to hit them all. I've been all over. The Suzuki dealer in Topsham, the HD dealer in town, the mc junkyard in the next town over and MY SO's friend that said I was molesting my bike by customizing (he's into stock only--never know when it will be worth money and it needs to be original) My SO pointed out that it is MY bike and I pointed out that I was buying the bike to ride now not to see how much money I can maybe make on it later.
