Online parts retailers?

Quick question for y'all...which are your preferred parts retailers for OEM bits? I've used bikebandit.com in the past for my Triumphs and the lead time is terrible at best. I'd like to get hip to a site where it only takes days to ship an order, not weeks like bikebandit.

I think the 2 best are RonAyers and Service Honda. I have used RonAyers and they are very good. Havent used Sevice Honda but have heard nothing but good things.

I've placed a few orders from hondaparts-direct.com and haven't had any issues.

Service Honda is really good. I ordered some parts from them and got them sooner than I expected.

i went with service honda when I had to replace a whole side of my bike. they were cheaper than bike bandit and didn't seem to take too long... for tires and such I have used cyclegear.com, tireexpress.com, ebay, etc. Decent experiences with all. Bikebandit is slow at times, but I still use them cause they are a sponsor for us, and they give a small discount for AMA members.

The AMA member discount at Bikebandit is 6%. Sometimes it works out that you get a product at the same cost shipped as somewhere else before shipping. I do not know if bikebandit stocks anything or if they are just a drop shipper. They might stock somethings, but the tire I just bought had a Turcker Rocky shipping decal on it. GO figure. I have used other places for tires as well, such as swmototires.com. So far, they have usually had the lowest prices, but not always. Depends on the tire. Motosport.com is another place I have bought items from and have been pleased. I got my Teknic leather pants from them and some Teknic gloves.
