Okay folks,

Let's use this thread for reviews of vendors (parts, service, accessories, gear, whatever).  Please try to post so it's fairly easy for anyone to browse this topic and locate previous reviews on a vendor they are considering.  We already have a "best sources" thread, so let's use that one for that sort of info.  If you agree or disagree about a vendor in a previous post, please post your agreement/disagreement.  I know if I find several folks all agree on a vendor, I'm likely to put more stock in that opinion, etc.  For the most part, this should be a GOOD/MIXED/BAD review of a vendor and why.

Example:
Billy Joe Jim-Bob Jr.'s Bike Parts Emporium
MIXED REVIEW

average prices
decent selection
very slow delivery
good customer service (easy returns/exchanges)

That's my idea of the basics anyway.  Maybe someone out there has a better way and obviously you'll sometimes need a more detailed explanation.  If something happens to make you change your mind, please try to update the original post as some folks may not get to the addendum.  I think this will be a handy reference for all of us.

Thanks, Rob

I'm going to summarize these posts for ease of use (I use it a lot), feel free to comment - V1

Well, I've bought three items from www.oneidasuzuki.com, which I found out about here.  A Windshield, saddle bag supports and a full face HJC helmet for $62.00.   My experience on these OEM pieces were:

best Suzuki prices I've found (always discounted, and I'm cheap!)
very limited selection of Savage gear and parts
7-10 delivery
questionable return policy ( no consideration of returns on helmet if it doesn't fit)

Overall, I'll probably buy a luggage rack and engine case guard from them, too.

             I've had extremely good luck with:


Smitty's Motorcycle Shop, Hwy 180 W. in Mineral Wells, Tx. They have an online division www.biker2biker.net, and are also on eBay.

I just bought a rear tire for my Virago from JC Motors Motorcycle Accessories on eBay on Monday & it was at my door two days later.  I saved $30-40 over the cheapest price I could find from from any local shop.  Just wanted to pass it along.

Click on New Accessories on the left-hand side & it will take you to their eBay store where you can search for your tire size.

The two I buy most from:

Ronayers.com and crotchrocket.com
Both have online "fiche" break downs
Both take around 10 days to my door
Both discount the oem parts but neither is best
On the major parts crotchrocket is around 10% cheaper
on the small parts - gaskets,filters, and such ronayers is cheaper.

The test:

- cam chain part# 12760-24b00
Ronayers - $74.86  crotchrocket - $69.18

- chain adjuster # 12830-24b01
Ronayers - $44.49  crotchrocket - $40.04

-adjuster mount bolt # 90108-08194
Ronayers - $5.47 crotchrocket - $7.06

-oil filter # 16510-37450
Ronayers - $3.92 crotchrocket - $5.06

Sheepskin Butt Pads

Good prices - $39 for Savage rider seat

Shipping - Average (6 days via USPS from Alaska to Indiana)

Product - Excellent quality (deluxe version), product is as advertised and the butt feels 100% better with the pad as opposed to without the pad.

I do plan on ordering the pillion pad from them in the future as well.

+1 on NewEnough.com.  I've bought a couple of things from them and have been impressed.  Selection varies because it's often overstocks or last year's model, etc. but the stuff is new and the prices are very good.  Fast shipping and excellent customer service.  I should qualify the fast shipping though.  They are located in Shallowater Texas (just outside Lubbock in the Texas panhandle).  That's just about 350 miles from me.

Tires Unlimited gets a positive vote- good prices and fast shipping. Unfortunately, UPS gets a big thumbs down. TU shipped my new Dunlops and tubes the next morning after I ordered them the evening of June 18.  The package tracking shows UPS physically received the tires on the morning of the 19th (so TU did their job well), but once the tires got to the UPS hub in Indy they sat for almost three days! The notation said 'delivery delayed, package inadvertantly left in UPS facility' or some such. But I finally got them today, and I'm pumped to get em mounted.
