Where do you all buy consumables (brake pads, lines, brake fluid) for your GS?

I usually buy fluids (engine oil, brake fluid) locally, at WalMart or an auto parts store or even Harbor Freight (in the case of brake fluid).  Bike shops tend to be too expensive for that stuff.

Fork oil can be a toss-up between the local bike shop and online sources.

I special-order oil filters through auto parts stores, several at a time.  (Fram CH6000)

For other (non-OEM) stuff, including tires, I check Chaparral (http://www.chaparral-racing.com/) and MAW (http://www.mawonline.com/newsite/STREET.HTM) first.
