Welcome to the forum, inspeedwetrust.
I've used it numerous times quite successfully. The trick is to know what parts are substandard and which are preferred. Could fill a book. Best to use the search functions here to get that info as it is dynamic. There's other suppliers, too. Like 650central.com and boats.net.

I ordered rims and spokes to the UK, quick delivery and they were good quality
I have probably spent 3-4000 there so far. Fast ship usually good parts but yes there are a few things to be avoided.

I too have spent a few grand there over the years,the shipping cost is better if you a large order. Shipping is high on small orders.

Welder's penetrate deeper!!
hit or miss. I bought the 6 over kit for the topend of mine, runs great. Pistons, rings, weighed the same. cyliders were good.
Other than parts like that, most of it is taiwanese. The pamco kits are solid, the rubber used for carb boots are crap, dont buy carb kits there either. they say mikuni , and even have the square in a square, but they are not mik's. Goto niche cycle. best resource for carb parts ive seen so far.
These parts will not score big on concourse, but will get you down the road with effort.

Be careful. They'll ship quick but I've gotten a handful of bad parts. They have always resolved the issues but I had to pay shipping. Shipping, as said, is expensive on small orders.
