Hey guys,

I'm looking at ordering some parts to get my bike running. So far I've found three places that look promising. I was wondering if you could tell me whether any of these would be good places to order from, or offer alternatives.

Ron Ayers (http://www.ronayers.com)

Cycle-Parts (http://www.cycle-parts.com)

Westfield Yamaha/Suzuki (http://www.westfieldyamahasuzuki.com/)

Price-wise, Westfield comes in about 10% cheaper than the others, but without knowing their reputation I'm not sure they're a good idea.

Thanks.

I've used Ronayers for years with nary a hiccup.

I also found Mrcycles they look OK, they answered my question, but I have not ordered anything from anyone yet.

A few months ago I wanted to order some parts from another online store, forgot their name maybe it was suzukipartshouse period com. I filled the 'cart', then when it was time to pay it turned out that shipping was $140! So don't go there.

I use Ron Ayers mostly because I can click a picture of the part I want. There prices for OEM parts are good too. I've seen cheaper but not easier to order.

Just make sure you pay attention to what you are paying for shipping. I found a few places online that were cheaper than many, but when you went to check out the shipping was ridiculous. We use a site for mine and my wifes cars gmpartsdirect.com. They are the same way, but the prices are so much cheaper than anywhere else, even with the inflated shipping it still turns out less. All I'm sayin' is make sure you see what the shipping is and add it all up BEFORE you press "Submit Order"

Thanks guys, I think I'll just use RonAyers. Not the cheapest but seems to be the best

I ordered from mrcycles (in decreasing size): front fender, left frame cover, signal lens, shifter rubber, expander rubber (for handlebar weight), bolt cap; and everything was in my house exactly 8 days after ordering it.

That was a good experience.

They weren't the cheapest but shipping was very reasonable, with no significant profit for them. So - I do recommend http://www.mrcycles.com :tup:



Before that, I also tried ordering from the cheapest, made the list, then when it was time for paying, shipping was $140.00 ! :curse (can't find the "barf" emoticon)
