who is fastest delivery and shipping supplier for OEM parts?

[Andrew Vanis]

seem like everyone is 5-7 bays just to ship out.

any supplier have parts on hand to ship sooner?

I am looking for carb jets etc. and chain tensioner orings.

[Frank Z.]

Folks here like Z1 Enterprises for Mikuni jets, as their shipping is fast fast.

At times, I use Partzilla's ebay store for various GS OEM parts. Reference Suzuki parts fiche for part number, and plug that number into Partzilla's search window; they generally ship out next biz day.

Your local Suzuki dealer might be the fastest for NOS OEM parts.
That way the part is shipped only once: from the Suzuki parts warehouse to the dealer.

For standard Mikuni carb parts, a carb retailer like jestrus.com is probably the fastest because they will have the parts in stock.

In my experience Bike Bandit is the fastest. They relay orders you make to the OEM warehouse in a matter of hours of receiving your order, and they order so much stuff that the OEM's ship to them daily (or maybe more than once per day). Bike Bandit has a distribution center in San Diego, so that's pretty close to you in NM. Downside to BB is they are expensive. If you order enough stuff though they give you discounts on shipping as well as a kickback (Bandit Bucks).

Another advantage for BB is that their site has never, in my experience, gone offline. I've had the same account there for years.

+1 for BB. If they offer a deal or discount, it is legit. You get what you ordered and quick. I never have to spend time talking to them or emailing to find out what happened to my order.

update - the following is not a problem - partzilla delayed shipping for 3 days to get the jets in (I knew this when ordering since shipping time was spec'ed in the item description) but still better than 5-7 days form other sources.

This allowed me to add to my already-placed order and all that will ship out together with the one shipping charge. that was nice as things have come up since.

Also discovered:

1 - motorcycle superstore has OEM parts but you got to put the OEM # in the search box since there is no search drop down in their menu. I emailed them about this but they have not yet responded. On these OEM parts they are lower price than other sources I found and they are 5-7 days shipping out.

2 - Partzilla has a price guarantee. I will try it out with motorcycle superstore prices. Probably not a huge diff but almost free money. Also partzilla say they look at the whole cost including shipping so since motorcycle superstore offers free shipping at $69, it may make at lesat a $10 difference. Will report here when done.

Just ordered from BB and with the 10% discount limited time offer and my bandit bucks, I saved over $30 + shipping was free.

If you're looking just for jets and other internal carb parts, go to SUDCO. They have great customer service and they have parts for every Mikuni or Keihin carb you could think of. The prices are very good too.

[rudeman]

I just got a message from BB stating that they upgraded my shipping to "Expedited" for free because there was a delay in getting the "on order" parts in. That's why I buy from them.

My local Suzuki dealer orders daily and has parts shipped overnight. The total cost is within maybe 10% of the online retailers. And the girl at the counter is cute

eBay sometimes has new OEM parts from US sellers.

[Andrew Vanis]

Your dealer is better than mine. I keep trying mine periodically and I have found that mine has parts prices more than 50% over OEM pricing, I'd pay shipping $6-$30 depending on the day, and I'd get the parts in 7-30 days with no idea when (oh And I'd have to pay sales tax). I think they are just after new business. Thank goodness for on-line suppliers.
