The Vintage Spoke out of Abilene Ks. Ordered a seat cover on May 5, haven't got the cover. Having to go through paypal to try and get a refund. Sent emails and tried a phone call. Got no replies and lied to on the phone.

Where are you at in KS? I`ve seen their website but things were very expensive. I`m going to Concordia next Sat. so if they have a business address I`ll go by and check it out. I`m in Topeka.
Please keep us posted ksrebel....if they are OK, then everyone should know that and if they are not - then....
All I meant was that if they are not a good supplier then people ought to know that....
...sure didn't intend any offense.

Can't speak as to quality but; Unless they advertised it as in stock, immediate shipping, a one month delivery in the height of motorcycle part buying season doesn't seem out of line.
Post a couple pics?

The Vintage Spoke is the American outlet for kedo.com, an Australian supplier that specializes in TT500, XT500 and a couple other vintage Yamaha model models that have huge followings in Europe and Australia. Oftenthe part that you buy from the Vintage Spoke has to travel first from Australia to Kansas City and then to you, hence long ship times are not unusual.
Kedo is a respected outfit with a massive catalog including a lot of quality performance parts as well as quality restoration parts. I have bought a couple of handfuls of parts from the Vintage Spoke for my 1977 XT500, and have always been satisfied.

Great info - thx DB!
Failed to answer multiple personal emails, failed to answer multiple paypal emails, phone conversation as complete BS. Only made contact thru their own website after the threat of escalation on paypal. Was sent a notice of shipment, then after was sent an email asking if I wanted a refund. Worthless customer support. Buyer Beware.

Hey MaxPete, for what it's worth I LOVE your gun firing emoji...
Thanks MJ. FWIW - poor suppliers are a curse on all of us and that's what I was trying to convey.
Cheers,
Pete
