These any good?

[300lbsgorilla]

anyone know if these are any good?  they are a lot cheaper than OEM.  I have an o-ring fail on the float valve and well they don't look good enough to just replace the o-ring.

You can EASILY find those kits CHEAPER online somewhere else; they're called the Bike BANDITS for good reasons. I DOUBT that you really NEED that kit; The Buddha will probably have EXACTLY what you need to solve your problem. Buy from him and avoid all the hassles of getting the WRONG thing, then having to ship it back at YOUR expense.

If you decide you WANT to buy that K&L kit anyway, let Google do the walking, and you'll save yourself some money. Best of all, you won't be making ElBanditos any richer than they already are...

true buddha prolly has what you need and he'll know what you need, but that doesnt mean bikebandit is bad. just maybe not the right way to go in this case. ive ordered several things from bike bandit and theyve been cheaper or the same as anyone else ive seen, plus you earn money back (which ive bought things with using just bandit bucks) and the people were very nice to me the one time i was going to return something. but i ended up keeping it anyway.  no need to trash a site without giving an example of how they screwed you man.

I am SO fscking tired of this stupid BULLSH!T from you post-whores. The OP requested ADVICE in this thread, which **I** provided; what advice did YOU provide here? NOTHING, NO ADVICE AT ALL, which means you ONLY posted here to BOOST your post-count, which makes you a POST-WHORE!

You said that the Bandits were "...cheaper or the same as anyone else ive seen"..., which ONLY means that you probably aren't very good at finding lower prices on OEM parts. What's the matter; you STILL don't know how to use Google?

Also this: "...plus you earn money back (which ive bought things with using just bandit bucks)"... OK, if they're giving you "Bandit Bucks" based on a percentage of what you've already spent there, then you SHOULD be smart enough to realize that THEY'RE OVERCHARGING YOU for the items you've bought. Seems like you don't know much (or ANYTHING) about marketing... "Bandit Bucks" are just another example of the typical "good dog" programs that many companies run to keep the know-nothings coming back to spend MORE money on overpriced items. COUNTLESS numbers of companies do this crap, including "Toys R Us"; it keeps the suckers coming back with open wallets. Looks like the Bandits have found ANOTHER sucker!

You don't like the advice I gave the OP, that's too fscking bad for you. Now you can post 3000 MORE times b!tch!ng about THIS, and fluff up your post count even more! GO FOR IT, POST-WHORE! You ONLY need 8,981 MORE posts to reach 10,000! That should only take you another week, or two at the most...

Since you've CHOSEN to defend the Bandits here, I've got a CHALLENGE for you: pick ANY OEM Suzuki part number, and post it here, along with the Bandito price. I'll find it CHEAPER somewhere else, and post the link and price here to PROVE that the Bandits overcharge for OEM parts.

If you won't accept my challenge, then go back and play in your sandbox, or crawl back under your rock; the adults are using the Internet now, so you little post-whores might as well go find someone else to get ignorant with.

Wow...... Urine and Wheaties for breakfast I'm guessing...

I can't speak to how good those kits are - I've always bought from partsnmore for the carb kits for 12$ each (35$ minumum so I buy 4 at a time..)---BUT they have changed their website recently and do not seem to be selling the carb kits-- just the bowl gasket and slide diaphragm- I'll have to look around more later---going to be bummed if they don't offer them anymore...

Off to work...

tight dude.  no need to get so P.O. just cause i said bike bandit isnt evil.  what are you so mad about? it was not at all a "post whore" thing to do, i was just trying to say that bikebandit isnt really as bad as you made them out to be, and that in MY expeirience with them, i have been very satisfied. 

fine, ill play your game.  find a signal generator OEM brand new cheeper than BB. yea, i can use google too. just found one cheaper, but it wasnt at the time i bought it and even if it was, ill pay the little extra to know that the site is McAfree accredited, and backed by the Better Buisness Bureu so i dont have to worry about my information being stolen or anything like that.  I like that at can call and talk to a person if something were to go wrong. I like that they are quick and willing to fix any mistake made either me or them, and i like that their website is easy to use, has plenty of parts for a variety of machines, and professional.  Yea, youre prolly gonna use the old "well if you wanna pay for fancy glitter and show thats your money" saying, but I could care less, cause at the end of the day, all the money that worked my azz off for, is still in my account, and no John Doe out there is taking my information as his own.  Now if you wanna get all p!ssy about marketing and that kinda stuff maybe you should join capitalismforum.com or corprateworldannounamous.net or something. whatever floats your boat dude. whats it to you if i like buying from bikebandit and wanna share that with other uesers who are contimplating doing so?

hopefully one day ill learn to be as smart and cool as you and realize how retarded im making my self look by ordering parts from bikebandit.com
