Where do you get your parts from? - Page 2

Mostly online for me. I may buy a few things from a local shop but usually after doing my research I order online.

Local dealer 100%.

It's nice dealing with a company you can trust.

Online usually unless it's gear, then I want to try it on before I buy.

the pipes came in from JP Cycle. very well packed, excellent condition and arrived right on time. guess I'll keep their address for future orders.

for some things I will go to a Local Dealer or Motorcycle shop. The Majority of stuff I want is not available from them. <Heated Grips and B King Mirrors most recent purchases>

Bikebandit, usually half of what the dealer charges.

Every time I ever ordered from them it took them 3+ weeks to get me my shit. I gave up on that gimmick rather quickly.

Besides, I maintain the relationships with the people there. If they are used to seeing you on a regular basis, when you need something, they're more willing to go out of their way to help you.

I try to buy locally if it is not too much more. Plus one of the guys at the shop always gives me 20% off.

Try www.motogrid.com. Stuff shows up w/in 5 days, and they are usually cheaper than theifbandit.
