ronayers.com is a Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki dealer that has great online prices.
cycle-parts.com has probably the best prices for OEM, late-model parts I've yet found, but they have a minimum order policy. If you only need something cheap, they direct you to bikebandit.com.
I've done business with all of these and never had a problem.
Let me get this straight... it's one down and four up, right?

One of these days I'll get a bike that was made AFTER I was born. Darn kids and their newfangled toys. Until then, I shop either ebay or http://www.oldbikebarn.com/index.php. My local honda shop always has to ask me, "what year did you say???" when I got there looking for parts :(

i second the ron ayers website. best price i could find for a good michelin front tire, cheap and very fast shipping as well. i only wish they sold other stuff i need.

tried crusiercustomizing.com, ordered a 2 piece mustang seat. it doesnt say on the website they dont stock it, and its a 3-4 week wait which is insane. needless to say i cancelled my order and went elsewhere.

anyone have any sites to buy brake parts for a 97 suzuki?

edit: dennis kirk seems to have the pads i need. gotta see what they charge to ship. :wink:

btw, any specific brands of brake pads i should be looking for? also, id rather go non-asbestos. what do others here go with?

there is a website called --findmyparts.com--that has a whole herd of scrap yards that are linked to them--if you are looking for something old this is a good place to go.they will email you if they have the part.the prices aint as good as ebay but sometimes you can find really difficult parts there.
