Has anybody from North America ordered products from this company yet? I have been in contact with them and will be ordering some parts but now I'm a bit hesitant because they would like the money transferred into their bank account once they send me a confirmation letter (of my order). Maybe its just me being paranoid about being scammed but I don't like the idea of transferring money into their bank account before I receive the parts (in good condition).

No offense but they sure as hell aren't going to send you the parts before you pay them, no one does that, you wouldn't either if you were in their shoes.

How did you get in contact with them and what were their prices like including shipping to the US?

Maybe you can paypal it over?

I emailed the company directly and asked them if this was an option but they said they currently do not paypal as a payment option.

I'm realatively new to purchasing items over the internet (don't even have a paypal account) and something about transferring money into the company's bank account just doesn't sit well with me. Most of the sites I have purchased items on require a credit card number but do not charge the credit card until the product has been delivered.

I have contacted Tsukigi Racing, a Japanese company with an office in the U.S. but their prices for the "Bikers" parts are 290% more expensive before shipping and tax. The benefit is that they have a paypal option which elevates most of my payment concerns.

I actually just ordered frame sliders, front and rear wheel protector, engine guard set and the adjustable handlebar from Tsukigi Racing (they sell Bikers merchandise). It cost significantly more (he gave me a discount and charged less for shipping) but I feel like the premium I paid for the parts I got a little more assurance that the parts will arrive because I paid through paypal.

Only problem I have now is that it will take about 5 weeks for the parts to get to me because they are coming from Japan and some of them (don't know which ones) are not in stock.

No, Macca i did see your thread. It still makes me nervous to just wire transfer that much money without a guarantee like paypal or a credit card.

Could do what I did and order from Tsukigi Racing. They have a paypal option.
