Favorite place to order OEM parts?

Where is your favorite place to order OEM parts online?  Long story short, a couple weeks a ago I didn't put the sidestand down all the way and CRASH.  The mirror shattered on impact as my stomach sank.  The clutch lever got pretty busted up, and I broke it trying to fix it.  I mean, if anyone has a spare clutch lever lying around that'd be great, but I tried before with no response.

So as I was saying, what's your favorite website for OEM parts?

My clutch lever was bent when I bought my bike. Ordered once through Bike Bandit and they sent the wrong one. Through my fault and theirs they would not take it back.

I ended up buying mine through the local dealership. Cost was about the same and I could verify it was correct before leaving. I generally hate my local dealership but sometimes it is easier to go through them for small items.

Yeah, the guy who sold me the bike recommended bike bandit.  How are they on shipping times?  I mean, I tried Hillsboro Motorsports out of Oregon or something before, and my order sat as 'Recieved' for a week before I just canceled it.

I either get my stuff through here on the FS/FT section. Or my dealer who is super cool we go out on rides the workers alot of them are members of the CMA Fast Lane chapter so I get treated right. If everything goes well tomorrow I'm gonna scoot over and show them my new seat cowl! I also go to the motorcycle Clinic that's where I get the aftermarket and such. then there is the Kawi dealer literally right in front of my house where I got my recon 19 tank bag. Like the best tank bag EVAR! Read about it in my sig line!

So, I've never really ordered online. Oh wait I did do Ebay for the fairing and got it for $19 so that was good!

I have found them to be cheaper for OEM parts than anywhere else.

There is a thread somewhere on here where someone had a bad experience but I think it was mainly due to slow shipping.

Shipping usually takes about 2 weeks with them (7-10 business days per the site) but I don't mind due to the cheap prices.

I have ordered from them 3 or 4 times and always had good results.

Depends on your local dealer, but often the lack of shipping costs and shipping time makes them a good bet - and it's nice to have one around when you need one.

Being able to compare old part to new part before parting with your money is also a good thing.
