Yes, this could be a major decline in parts quality and customer service 
as it stands.

Now if The Roadster Factory bought Goodparts that would be some 
interesting news!  Or the other way around even.

All the more reason to support those small businesses that make and sell the best bits - lots of clever people out there who do care about quality and recognise that it also costs to do it well …

Would be great to see The Roadster Factory get back on its feet.  They and
Goodparts bring different and strong offerings to our Triumphs, not to
mention, wonderful customer support by both.   I have especially appreciated
Richard Good's personal responses to my questions from time-to-time.

Also, have had good experiences with Racetorations and their owner, Darryl
Uprichard, in the UK for some specialized race bits.

Mark

My somewhat limited experience in the M&A industry says that the
consolidation of 2 significant players in a market can lead to better price
control by the acquirer.  Read that - higher pricing to the customer due to
reduced competition.  Hope I'm wrong...
