Perhaps you all know about this already, but I just found out that DNA closed their North American wharehouse that used to store OEM parts and now everything needs to be shipped directly from Italy which will ad about 3 weeks to the waiting time for stock parts.

Is this just news to me?

BikeBandit sucks. The only reason to order from them is if you are looking to get raped and are in a bind.

Why? You can bring up a microphish drawing of your bike and order the EXACT piece that you are looking for. Other than the dealer, where else can you do that? If you know of a better place, I'd love to know where.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ducati genuine parts are available only at official Ducati dealers.

Yes, like I said, the only other place is at the dealer. My dealer is 50 miles away. That's the closest one. BikeBandit may not be the greatest, but if I need an OEM part, I'd rather order from them than the dealer.

Thanks for the link Tizzy,

Well, my bike is new so I haven't purchased anything from Bandit. Does Seattle have a website? Hopefully, it will be quite some time before I actually need OEM parts...besides brakes pads, clutch plates and other normal wear and tear stuff. I don't have any devotion to Bandit, so there's no worries here. I have a full parts manual at home, so one day, if I ever needed a part, I'm sure I can plug the number into a search engine and find it.

Okay, great. Seattle it is then. Do they have a website?
