I have ordered items from lowbrow, fast shipping,quality items, here are a few other suppliers, in no particular order;
British Only Austria - www.vintage-motorcycle.com
Burton Bike Bits - www.burtonbikebits.net
Steadfast Cycles - www.steadfastcycles.com
Ace Cycle -http://www.trumpnut.com
LP Williams - www.triumph-spares.co.uk
Triples Rule - http://www.triplesrule.com
Big D Cycle - http://www.bigdcycle.com
VII Sins Choppers - http://www.sevensinschoppers.com/
The Factory Metal Works - http://www.thefactorymetalworks.com/
7 Metal West - http://7metalwest.com/
Biltwell - http://www.biltwellinc.com/
I will say that I've not had good luck with Rask Cycle and therefore I can not recommend them.

*note: some of the suppliers I've listed are not in the U.S. Usually most parts are available here in the U.S., but when they are not, you'll have to look elsewhere. Between these that I've mentioned and the previously mentioned suppliers you should be able to obtain anything you need or require !
** I will also say that before you place that online order, call the supplier (be aware of time zone differences) to ensure the items you require are actually in stock, some of these websites are not very good about updating, or listing how many of a particular item is in stock, or even if its in stock at all.

Lowbrow, Biltwell, yes, but they can't give me everything. I run all British, so...

Steadfast Cycles - good for stock and odd parts; quick delivery; helpful staff
http://www.steadfastcycles.com

British Cycle Supply Company - everything you'd ever need and more, but their catalog is a chore to traverse and you have to order by phone
http://www.britcycle.com/

and I have a good local source for used parts and help at Vintage Twins in Arvada. JC is in the shop every day and is a huge help. He's got loads of knowledge about British bikes and parts and has been willing to help whenever I've asked.

Though I have ordered from them in the past, since their catalog is such a jumbled clusterfuck, and you have to order by phone, I normally just bypass these guys. I don't mind making a 3-5 minute call to ensure an item is in stock, but a 20-30 min call to place a full order is just not for me. Nor do I like having to not only look up the part in their catalog, but then having to look up the price for said item on their price list. This is the internet updates can be made very quickly, in fact instantly in most cases. Online ordering is very simple to set up now days as well. Why they can't just list the damn price with the item, I'm not sure, perhaps laziness ?

The other thing that sucks is ordering everything you think your going to need for the job, then when you are in the shop doing the job you realize you forgot something you need, and you have to place yet another order. Try to ensure you are ordering everything you'll need (or everything your willing to obtain from that supplier) at the same time, this will curb delays waiting for that one part you forgot to order.

I also failed to mention, I order my cables direct from Venhill - www.venhill.co.uk
Yes its a bit more for shipping, but you do get the nice die cut Venhill (and Featherlight) stickers !

**I will also note that it seems that Twin parts are certainly more readily available here in the US vs. Triple parts, unfortunate for me, parts wise, I have a bastard Triple.

alright thanks alot guys ill look into all these and by the way i live in manitoba canada

There's a fella in Atlanta who's family once owned the triumph/bsa dealership. shoot me an email and I'll get you his number. He still has a ton of NOS parts..........and he sells them!

As much as I hate to admit it Ebay can be a useful resource for extremely hard to find parts, (though used, still usable). For example; left air box cover for a T150 are not produced anymore,(not even aftermarket ones) they are very hard to come by ,and usually not cheap. They tend to break around the mounting screws, and were usually tossed aside. I've seen a couple sell on ebay in the last year or so. You can not order one from any parts supplier. Only see them on ebay on a rare occasion. So if you've got a part that you just aren't having luck finding through a normal supplier, try hitting Ebay. Also some of the sites I listed do offer some "used" items, which can save you a bit of money.

These cats are out of Edmonton AB, Ive dealt with them mostly in person, but I have ordered stuff from them, I think the guy Ive dealt with most is named John, he really knows his shit. They also sell whitworth wrenches and sockets, for cheap, that you are gonna need for your Triumph
