Any tips for a reliable online OEM parts supplier? I googled Suzuki Motorcyle Parts and got a short list, several of which turned out to be the same supplier (Babbit's). When I located the parts I desired and began the check-out, my web browser posted a WARNING that the site had an invalid or corrupt cetificate and possibly was a rip-off. I then went to another site, "Parts Bandit" and paid slightly more for the parts, but had no problems with warnings.
My new rider has damaged her brake and clutch levers from dropping the new bike. She had never rocked a bike off of the center stand before and failed to balance it (brake lever bent like a pretzel -- I removed and straightened it fairly well - but its probably weakened). Then she dropped it again while avoiding the neighbor's somewhat aggressive dog ( we discussed proper avoidance-evasion) and the clutch was douply pretzeled. I also straightened that, but there was a crack at the base of the safety ball and that broke off -- I smoothed the end for temp use. No other damages -- so far! (well, except for a couple of scrapes on her hide). She will continue riding on private property only for some time to come.

I second that, I haven't really compared the prices anywhere else to bikbandit but the shipping is within 2-3 days to my house and they have live help.
I like bikenadit too for the prompt shipping. However, their shipping policy sucks. Even if you order a washer worth $0.15, the shipping cost is $7. It is annoying sometimes. :2guns: :2guns: But guess what, even if you add a frame to the cart, they still charge 7 bucks for shipping :laugh: :laugh:
I use www.ridenow.com .Never been let down.
