Every time I ever ordered from them it took them 3+ weeks to get me my shit. I gave up on that gimmick rather quickly.

Besides, I maintain the relationships with the people there. If they are used to seeing you on a regular basis, when you need something, they're more willing to go out of their way to help you.

:iagree: I try to buy locally if it is not too much more. Plus one of the guys at the shop always gives me 20% off. :beers:

I bought most of my parts online. Did a lot of ebaying when I needed parts.

Try www.motogrid.com. Stuff shows up w/in 5 days, and they are usually cheaper than theifbandit.

However, with the recent transgressions of the Motor Company I now avoid the dealer at all costs, and quite frankly, they haven't been able to help me either. Which is sad, b/c, honestly, I'd rather pay a little more to get my parts when I want them and to support local biz. So, too bad for them.

not totally true, my dealership was going to perform very well for you... just simply with one call by me....

Thanks for the heads up. Wonder if they carry any Buell stuff?

the pipes came in from JP Cycle. very well packed, excellent condition and arrived right on time. guess I'll keep their address for future orders.

for some things I will go to a Local Dealer or Motorcycle shop. The Majority of stuff I want is not available from them. <Heated Grips and B King Mirrors most recent purchases>

Online 100%. I've tried working with 3 local dealers here, and each one of them can't seem to keep their word. I hope they all go out of business.

Bother very similar in price, so it just depends who's lower for that particular part and/or who has it in stock.
