    Online buying biking bits

    I'm after some advice on where to shop online for biking bits - other than Motomail. Not that there's an awful long wrong with them, apart form having a pretty lame website.

    I'm shopping for a wide range of stuff from bolt ons to consumables.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Try using the Internet Yellow Pages, lots of bike shops etc have a website link there
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    ebay, wife has brought alot of stuff off it, iknow quasi has brought alot of parts of there, my father in law brought alot of parts of a motorbike dealer based in the usa from the net, for his old vn1500d

    Most places now days sell on line, hunt around and see what ya can find, 9/10 what you want you can find on ebay at a goodish price, just beware of shipping costs

    try www.cycle-parts.com
    Can't vouch for their service yet but i'm getting OEM suzuki parts in the country for about 2/3 of the price I can buy them for here, so thats not bad!

    My thoughts exactly - so far - hence the thread.

    "Lame" web site? It's useless! I don't know why they bother having one. Probably because, like a lot of businesses, they read somewhere that they should have a web site...

    When I originally wrote the thread I used the phrase "as useful as a fart in a spacsesuit", but decided against it. Couldn't agree with you more Mr Hitcher sir - shite!
