Best website to buy OEM parts

[Spackler]

There are a lot of websites that sell OEM Kawasaki parts. Anybody have one they use and have found has better prices than others?

Depends what you need;  if you need stuff like water pump, hoses, etc, you won't beat Murph!  http://www.murphskits.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1&osCsid=6db5d241eb223acdc8bcfba8c486e081

If you need stuff they don't carry, I've found Ron Ayers about the best bet....    http://www.ronayers.com/

Tires are a different story....

That's my thought process too.

Since I like to help my small local shop (http://www.motorcyclefactoryinc.com/), I try to buy my tires there.  I usually pick the tire I want online, print the ad from Bike Bandit or wherever and take it to the shop.  They will usually match the price (to include any shipping) or beat it.  Also , since I bought the tire there, they give me half off the mounting cost.  I buy all of my riding gear thru them the same way.  Most shops can order anything.  Every 3 months they have a seasonal sale where the entire shop is at least 20% off to include special orders for that weekend.  For fathers Day this weekend they are offering free State safety inspections and a buch of other things.

I'm not really advertising for them, but it's nice to have a good shop nearby.  The "other" one a little closer to me is very expensive and impersonal.  I go there to try gear on then by it from mine.

I've found Partzilla to have good prices and the shipping prices and speed to be reasonable.

Bikebandit.com seems to have good prices and you get a 10% discount if you have an AMA membership.  Free shipping for purchases over $100, I think.  Ordered an OEM petcock on Sunday, sent from CA, received in OH on Friday, for $72 shipped.

But, I have found you need to shop around to find the best price on any individual part, especially taking into consideration, available discounts and shipping vs. free shipping.

Ya, watch the shipping costs.  They lure you in with low prices then make it up on the shipping charges.

Depends.  (no not the adult diapers).

If its smaller parts like gaskets and bolts, I order online though my local Kawalski dealer's website fiche's.  Parts are slightly more than Bike Bandit and the others, but its shipped directly to the dealership with no shipping cost to me.

Real convenient and they a good bunch of guys too.
