Can you be a little more specific? body stuff, bags, tires, parts?

The search tool is a good thing to learn how to use. :roll:

Of course buy from people on gstwin if at all possible.

I have ordered a Joe Rocket Alter Ego pants and jacket from www.newenough.com   this was a great experience.


I ordered a givi rack (being discontinued buy now) from
 http://www.twistedthrottle.com  also a great experience.  

I have ordered some small stuff from www.denniskrik.com.  I had no problems, but they don't have a great reputation in some circles.

Just my $.02.

I second Mr Cycles.  Some of the best prices around, and good service.

Nobody has mentioned my favorite yet: Chaparral (http://www.chaparral-racing.com).  And Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse (MAW) (http://www.mawonline.com) is good for lots of things, too.

If I were you, I would go to the Dennis Kirk and Chaparral websites and order a printed catalog.  It's WAY easier to find stuff in the printed version and then search for it by part number online.  Besides, browsing a printed catalog can inform you of things you wouldn't have thought of on your own.

I think Dennis Kirk has one of the best catalogs out there.  Lots of good info about tires, especially.  But they must pay dearly for creating and distributing the catalog; I rarely order from them because their prices tend to be significantly higher than other places.  On the other hand, sometimes they seem to be the only source for certain items.  (Like the Motion Pro valve tool.)

A couple of other good links:The Arizona Motorsports Group (http://www.azmotorsports.com/)
parts411.com (http://www.parts411.com)[/list]

As for Discount Motorcycle Tires & Accessories (DMTA) ... read the bad news HERE (http://www.arvadapd.org/3.cfm?page_ID=245).
