Where do you buy your parts/gear from?

the guy who gave me discounts quite and started a new shop before i left.

Same thing happened to me. He made sure they had stuff in stock and would give me sutff for free basically but then he left and is a mechanic for a local amatuer(sp?)

i get most of my parts online. if its a replacement part though, i will get it at the dealer. also, i get alot of little things at the dealer, like most of my oils, plugs, silencer packing. that kind of stuff.

i usually order anything i need for parts from dennis kirk unless its a small part and the dealer dont have to order it. if the dealer has it in stock its worth the extra $10 or whatever to not have to wait. but if the dealer has to order it then ill just order it and have it in 3 days. its actually getting to be worth it to just wait and place a big order threw dennis kirk and have all the stuff id possibly need right on hand with gas prices since the closest honda dealer is an hour drive. my cousin usually gets me parts on his employee discount from the dealer he works at to.

i do get good deals on boots, jerseys, gloves, pants and goggles from the yamaha dealer though. if i didnt have such bad luck with yamahas then id switch to a yamaha and get deals on parts to.

I definately buy gear and stuff from a dealer so i can try it on to make sure it fits cause different brands are different sizes. Easier to just try it on than order them to find out they dont fit

i buy from fox valley cycles in aurora, IL. I usually buy there because i can actually try the stuf on....befoer i get it.

A little from each. If i need stuff for bikes, like parts i get my dealer to order it and he gives me free shipping and discounts. If i need oils, lubs, levers, etc.. Get at dealer. And rider support, if i need gear.

i get all my stuff from my local dealer since im sponsered by them they either give it to my for how ever much they pay to get it or they just say don't worry we will just pay for it.
they usually pay for all my gear and give me a massive discount on all spares.
