Hey was looking at the site and saw people talked positively about them, but can anyone speak for delivery times or email followups on shipments? Do they send tracking emails at all?

Do they offer tracking IDs and how long does it take to get an order out
They almost always ship within 24 hours, and provide a tracking number. Small items are sent Priority Mail, large items with FedEx or UPS.
He’s quick. I’ve been buying parts from him since he started Mike’s XS. Back then it was a paper catalog and you had to call him on the telephone. I’ve never had any issues with the items you question. (He sold Mike’s XS years ago)
Sorry from post 1 I had no idea he was talking about Mikes XS. I guess that’s Yamahaxs650.com?
He wasn’t. It’s my understanding that Mike Lalonde is yamahaxs650.com. Mike Lalonde started Mike’s XS.
No, this is what he's talking about:

Yes, it's my understanding that Mike started this place after selling MikesXS. I'm thinking maybe he had a lot of stuff left and wanted to get rid of it. They do have some of the original items MikesXS used to sell but changed, things like the original good Commando mufflers (the ones developed on the dyno by Heiden Tuning) and the original thin wall fuel line (wonderful stuff and available in 25' rolls). MikesXS sells EMGO copies of the Commando mufflers now and they're junk. They only look like the original Commandos but have EMGO "guts". Their fuel line is also now just regular 1/4" thick wall line (even though they advertise it as the thin wall type) and the quality is very poor. I used to get a couple pieces with just about every order and that's how I discovered they changed the product (even though they didn't change it's description). I tried it and it only lasted about a year, splitting on the ends where it was fitted on the carb/tank nipples. Absolute junk.
