Hello, my name is knuckleheadrick & I have a 47 knucklehead, I am a new member and was looking for a front head for my bike. I was contacted by Kelvin Morgan from the U.K. who said he had the part I was looking for, I e-mailed kelvin back and agreed to send him the money that he wanted for the part. After recieving payment for the part I was then told that I needed to buy a buyers seal in order to get my part shipped. I could not find anyone who had ever heard of this buyers seal. I have since requested that Kelvin send me the part that I paid for or return the money that I sent him. I have sent numerous e-mails to Kelvin and have not recieved any reply. I am writing this just to let everyone know to just beware so this does'nt happen to you. Rick

lots of perpetrators out there. beware buying outside from people we haven' t met. they all talking about putting a rating system on this site. should help! better than nothing. try ebay's paypal account. i've had good luck finding parts there. less chance of not being able to recover money spent if something doesn't go rt. hope this helps. their sellers are placed on a rating system. if they carry a 100% rating you'll bet they are there to satisfied your buying purchase. good luck!

I agree with ultra00, use paypal or I think google offers something similar that will provide some protection for you. If someone demands a money order or cashiers check I usually shy away from the deal. Another thing that may help would be a reputable escrow service for "big" purchases. From reviews I've read escrow.com seems to be the best.
