Title: Best sources for parts
Post by: ATLRIDER on May 05, 2008, 08:34:38 AM
Hey guys,

Getting ready to do some basic maintenance for the 1st time.  What in your opinions are the best online sources to buy parts?  Also if you have any part numbers for basic items (oil filters, washers, orings, chains etc..).

Much appreciated.

These are three of the most popular places, I always use bikebandit because they get you your parts in about 5 days or less.

www.prosourcemotorsports.com -parts fiche-  Used them 3 or 4 times fast shipping, resonable prices, always correct.
www.whaccessories.com - Good for aftermarket parts.

I find that some dealers have managed to copy BikeBandit's and other similar sites and matched their prices in an online store. My closest dealer has no issue with me ordering in his online store, paying online and picking up with just my name as my id, usually in 3 days if not 2. He will call me saying that he got a Suzuki box in and then call me later, to tell me that my parts are bagged and ready for pickup. Babbitt's is cheaper, but not enough to make me take business from the local guy.

I've had some pretty good luck with http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm (ftp://http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm). Not really sure how there prices compare to everywhere else.
