Title: online store
Post by: Jlittle on March 11, 2008, 10:12:28 AM
What are some good trustful bike online stores? With reasonable prices of course  :thumb:   Chain is kinking on my bike i think its about time to get a new one.  Also do the pre2002 GS's use the same chain as post 2002?

Jlittle - I am just dieing to answer a post like this hehe.  Why?  Well, I used ronayers.com and it worked well, got updates, tracked package price was reasonable...then I tried oldbikebarn.com and man they took forever and did not care.  Price was best but one week went by before they even processed my order (meaning some guy was too lazy to grab a box off a shelf or as they told me they had to order directly from Japan!) So I canceled order and the guy did not care in the least. :dunno_white:

Anyway, e-bay can be good too according to some members.  I am currently waiting on a package so I will see.  But I was impressed with ronayers.com.  I am also waiting on a filter directly from K&N. 

As you can see, my wife is not happy with my online purchasing as of late  :icon_mrgreen:

Just make sure it's a 110 link chain.520 serise chains are pretty generic and fit many diffrent bikes and atv's.
