    I second that! I've had 7-8 orders in the last couple years and he has had everything in stock, ships faster than anyone (most often same day if you get your order in early enough) and has truly helpful information.

    I think Chacal knows what I am about to order it, before I even contact him!

    The orders go out so fast, it's almost like it is already packaged, labeled and ready to go. I send the request, he fires back the pricing and I am sure it is in the mail before my PayPal hits!

    I did an order LATE one Sunday night, and got it Wednesday! Yes, Wednesday!

    And the quality of parts is better than OEM, it seems!

    Chacal should be in the BBB Hall of Fame!

    Yes, I concur with the above.
    Len is awesomeness, He gets the highest ranking that is allowed IMO

    Old Bike Barn burned me on mislabeled items and it took way to long for what I ordered. I will never shop there again at OBB

    Just put in my second order for supplies for the petcock rebuild, and Len had a few great suggestions for things I forgot. First order was shipped fast, and every single part was top notch.

    I've never tried oldbikebarn, but have tried bikebandit and ebay. But overall, Chacal is number one. He's quite intuitive and has an amazing understanding of these machines.
