Brian in bills parts dept. went the extra mile and found a rear lower shock mount bearing that would work for my 2011 txc 511 and saved my riding trip this coming weekend. the actual bearing from husky is on back order for the past couple months with no end in sight. its slightly different but the dimensions are exactly the same. and works like a charm. I even called a couple specialty bearing shops around the country and they couldn't get the koyo number from my old bearing and that's where their effort ended. if anyone needs a bearing and seals for this failure prone bearing he can hook you up.
AMAZING...I got the boot on Thursday! Bryon sent it on Tuesday! If I wasn't helping watch our 3 year old granddaughter, I'd have the new boot on and be writing the FIXED report! Thanks Bryon!
All those great things you hear about Bill's are 100% correct. Bill and Bryon are great people and do a great job.
We've got a Husky dealer here in Anchorage, but it is easier for me to call Bryon and have what I need shipped to my door than drive across town and get it myself. Great customer service. Wish I would have known about BMP before I bought my bike. I would have had them ship me that also.
Another urban dual sport ride, another broken part, I've been thru 2 mirrors now, I think the vibration of the motor weakens the plastic hinge and then a brush up against a tree branch breaks it off. Bryon will send me 2 more mirrors and a water temp sensor, best parts supply in the country!
@OldHuskyRider After so many mirrors broken I finally picked up the Double Take type. Now, if they only had a water pump impeller in the USA I would be a happy man. Bike is down until Husqvarna decides to find/release/cast new ones. Never have needed the boot..
That would be sweet if you do. I have an O instead of the D, and I don't want to blow a hose or tank if it over heats.
Bryon fixed me up with an awesome used muffler, from Mussolini 's wrecked bike, looks great, sounds great with my Euro dBkiller in it.
Thought I'd add to this thread. Bills is just awesome. As a result of a surprise attack by a looping KTM300, I had a couple of pieces of Italian plastic to replace on my 449. I was thinking it would take quite a while to find them but you guys came through, ordered the parts and refused to charge me until the piece was in Bryon's hands. Thank you for supporting the Italian stallions with your awesome parts sourcing!
