Post by: Scott_ on May 10, 2013, 06:51:47 PM: Pars Haus is a breaker so I'm sure they aren't out of business.
Drake's father just passed the other day, he had been ill in the hospital, so I imagine he has been occupied with that.

Post by: TimTyler on May 10, 2013, 07:11:03 PM: In my experience, Parts Haus prefers phones over email.

Post by: Kyle10 on May 10, 2013, 07:14:18 PM: Drake's the man to deal with. Honest, helpful and fair. And he knows his shite, supremely.

And yeah, it was me who screwed up an order - which he rectified. I still owe him a beer.

Post by: ackgs on September 15, 2014, 09:05:19 PM: Got my new to me tank from Drake. I am very satisfied, emailed back and forth - his description of the tank was way understated. The tank was even better than described. Prompt shipping and communication.

Post by: The Mighty Gryphon on October 04, 2014, 04:46:31 PM: Just curious, has there been another death in Drake's family? Sent him a request over a month ago about some parts I wanted to buy, and so far no reply. Does someone need to want a lot of high price stuff to get his attention?

I have a K100RS sitting in the garage with the front forks off waiting on him to let me know if he can sell me fork boots. I'm thinking I'll have to get them elsewhere.

I bought some K75 crash bars from him last spring and it went OK once I was able to get a reply from him. In my experience KBike Parts is not the place to go when you need something in a reasonable amount of time.

Post by: Scott_ on October 04, 2014, 10:50:02 PM: If you are just wanting protective boots aka "gaiters" for the stantions, get some rancho RS1952's from amazon. Less than $5 each.

Post by: Motorhobo on April 14, 2015, 10:05:05 AM: I talked to someone who knows Drake and he said Drake is fine but is not doing the kbikeparts.com thing anymore and is no longer in Seattle. Kbikeparts.com hasn't been updated since April 2014. I sent him a message about something about a month ago at the email addy on kbikeparts.com and got no reply -- so I think it's safe to say Kbikeparts.com as a resource is sadly no more.

Post by: mw074 on April 14, 2015, 10:32:50 AM: I was very satisfied with my dealings with The Parts Haus. Found Joshua to be a square shooter. This was just a couple of weeks ago. I recommend them. No affiliation here, just a satisfied customer.

Post by: richarddacat on April 14, 2015, 03:57:35 PM: Well, that sucks.

If there ever was a reliable source for K-Bike info it was frankenduck. :old guy:

I'd bet he'd know where to find a cut-out template to use on a belly-pan so it would fit around tip-over bars. :bang-head:

Post by: wmax351 on April 24, 2015, 11:28:24 AM: Well that's not good.

Post by: Lawrence on April 24, 2015, 12:13:18 PM: Nope. Not at all. I hope it's untrue.
But, it would explain why he left us without saying good-bye :dunno

Post by: silvtgr38 on November 18, 2015, 12:51:26 AM: I have placed a couple orders from k bike parts and have received no reply is it out of business? The contact person is smithduck@gmail.com and it has been a week now with no reply. How do I get a right pegplate if they don't answer? :mbird
Title: Re: K Bike Parts.Com / The Parts Haus
Post by: billday on November 18, 2015, 06:51:59 AM: Drake can be found on the K1100 forum these days.
Title: Re: K Bike Parts.Com / The Parts Haus
Post by: Motorhobo on August 23, 2018, 04:12:01 PM: BTW -- Drake at kbikeparts.com is back up and running and has been for quite a while. I got some stuff from him recently.
