    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My laptop crashed and burned on me (literally) last night. So I lost ALL my favs, including all the good online shops you all go to for getting parts. Mainly interested in OEM parts. This is what I have so far:

Ebay (duh)
Bikebandit
Z1
Vintage Suzuki
Parts Unlimited

Thanks for any and all help folks!

Good parts diagrams and decent website. They ship a lollipop with your order. They add 5% sales tax. They charge around $8 for USPS shipping. I'm pretty happy with that. Does anyone have anything to add about alpha sports?

Yeah they are normally on the higher side of parts pricing. I usually use them as a starting point and see where I can get cheaper.
 
Yes you're right about them being on the high side. I comparison shopped some carb parts just now and found a better deal on bikebandit.com (roughly 40% cheaper). So, assuming the parts I get are the ones I need, I'd look at bikebandit before alpha-sports in the future.

Seems to me I saw somewhere on here about a place called cheap parts..or something like that? Anyone know what I am talking about?
 
All of the above! I just used Z-1 for the first time (ordered a, gasp, Pingel, not OEM) and I couldn't believe how fast it here and how professional the transaction was. It was properly packed and their website has all the info you need to make your decision. I have had good luck with Bike Bandit, too, but there is no phone support. The live online chat works good, though.

(Reminds me, I need to save my hundreds of bike links on a cd).
