not totally true, my dealership was going to perform very well for you... just simply with one call by me....

Thanks for the heads up. Wonder if they carry any Buell stuff?

Online - Ronayers
Used to shop at the local place but they went out of business.

Ebay or some one else's online dealer cause the one here charges more than everyone else.

With a 30 year old bike, I get stuff where I can.

I bought most of my parts online. Did a lot of ebaying when I needed parts.

fasternyou929 · 12-16-2009, 12:53 PM

Online 100%. I've tried working with 3 local dealers here, and each one of them can't seem to keep their word. I hope they all go out of business.

Bother very similar in price, so it just depends who's lower for that particular part and/or who has it in stock.

It gets really hard to find that random little bolt you need, but Honda wants $9+ for a steel bolt that is about an inch long. I mostly get my parts from other riders who are parting out track bikes. Plus, it's cheaper to buy a used shock and have it rebuilt than it is to buy a brand new shock, stuff like that. And the fact that I can't order parts from a shop in Japan without having a Japanese title, and I still haven't managed to get that done, what the fuck am I waiting for.

Where ever I can get it cheapest. And with a very limited aftermarket, that's not very many places.
