We lack bike parts shops up here. There's some in BC and ordering for the states is a no go shipping is wild. If I order I tend to get stuff from Europe because oddly shipping is cheaper than from the US
It's getting very difficult to find stuff out here in the praries!!

I’ve ordered from pork chop numerous times and it has always been a great experience. Ships out fast. Usually gets here in about 2 days after I order.
Same. Probably dozens of orders for years

But when there are specific issues they are "lacking" on customer support

I failed to mention that I’ve found a few bits and pieces on Amazon. Tried to go to the Fito website and got directed to there…they were the only one with brand specific springer forks! (I just installed these, the faux tank, and the lights….sooo guten nacht, y’all. For work awaits.🥱)

To quote George Takei,”Oh my…”
I’ve been on luxlow before but it’s apparent that they’ve expanded their inventory since my last visit.

I took ‘er out for a quick test ride this morning. A few squirts of oil here and there and things will be proper again.

CRAIGSLIST. Example: This old Huffy (?) currently online for $50! I probably wouldn't be able to find a banana seat frame for less let alone a sissy bar.

Or this parts farm. One of many hawking $10-$20 bikes just outside city limits.

I find these deals listed without mention of brands or types so searching keywords doesn't help, often excludes, but scrubbing through the low priced section typically pays off.
