Where's everyone getting their STOCK parts from these days?

[salty_monk]

Been a while since I've had to buy anyone... where's the best spot for ordering online for price, reliability etc?

Partzilla. They are just a little cheaper than Parts Outlaw (very good too). Partzilla is also faster on shipping.

Partzilla.

I've had the best outcome from ordering from my local dealership which is only a 20 minute drive away. I order online on their parts fiche and pick them up when they come in. Always gets to me within 4-5 working days. No shipping costs and only pay local sales tax. Win, win for me.

Only thing I have done recently though was a purchase of piston rings from "cruzinimage". Got the complete set for something like $52 delivered to my door. OEM from Suzuki was something like $36 per cylinder.

Another Partzilla fan here!

I did my last order from Partzilla because they claimed "shipping in 2-3 days".

Something must have been backordered, it took 2 weeks, just like Parts Outlaw and all the rest.

I have not tried the local dealer, like alke46 does, but other than that, Bike Bandit seems to be the quickest.
The second-most-expensive, but quickest.

I'm in Canada and tend to use Babbitts and Partzilla. Partzilla's shipping price to Canada is much better than Babbitts, but Babbitts prices tend to be a bit lower, and there's the "OEM10" Babbitts 10% discount as well. So, depending on the size of the order I'll use one or the other. I've had only good experiences with both.

Cheers!

Bike Bandit is super fast for So Calif customers (assuming Suzuki has the part in stock). I've ordered stuff before and received it in less than 4 days. Sadly, BB is expensive and CA guys get hit with sales tax too. When you gotta have the part though that's who I use.

Partzilla is ok, I would stay away from their Ebay stuff. I don't know whats going on with that, but EVERY time I have ordered from them on Ebay the stuff has arrived damaged - always due to how it was packaged. I prefer Babbits, but the shipping does tend to be a couple bucks higher. When I ordered from Partsoutlaw it seemed like I was in the 90's again, I paid my money and didn't hear anything again until the item arrived (didn't get any tracking information).

I will use http://www.chaparral-racing.com/ if their website shows it in stock (which means it is in their warehouse not Suzuki's), it will usually get to me next day. They tend to have a lot in stock too. If not in stock, I will order from bike bandit.

Used motosport for new rings the other day. Got suzuki rings for $8 per cylinder (on sale). Decent shipping and fast enough service. Think they order from the warehouse though.

This seems to be my experience every time with Partzilla. Shows in stock, and "ships in 2-3 days" but then my order shows as "in progress" for 2 weeks. Folks seem to think they're faster than Parts Outlaw... If that's the case, then I'm in trouble. I decided to try them out because I'm fed up with Partzilla.

I don't mind waiting 2 weeks for something if I know it's gonna take 2 weeks and I can plan accordingly.

I've used and had good luck with Bike Bandit. So when I was looking for a new helmet I naturally went to Bike Bandit. Before ordering I thought I better check around for the best price. I'm glad I did! Bike Bandit wanted $580 for the Shoei GT Air. I found one at Cycle Gear for $499! a $80 savings!!! It should be here Monday ☺

I've always experienced sticker shock with Bike Bandit. But I haven't used them in probably 5 or 6 years now.
