PHPaulMotorcycle Guys - Who do we like for parts?
Going through the Suzuki DR-Z400S and will need to order a few bits and pieces.
I've ordered from Babbits (expensive, slower than death, basically a drop shipper), Partzilla (see: Babbits) and Bike Bandits (slightly better...)
I'm not really interested in squeezing the last penny, I'd be more interested in folks that have stuff on hand, ship promptly and don't use shipping as a cash cow.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

calugoRevzilla is phenomenal when it comes to shipping items quickly. They have a huge website full of all sorts of parts and accessories but I'm not sure how much OEM stuff they actually have in stock. Cyclegear has a good selection of stuff but I've only shopped in their stores so I don't know what their shipping practices are like. Its definitely worth checking both out to see what they have available.

HRKI have a friend that owns an indy shop, mostly HD stuff but he works on metric bikes, if it's in the Drag Specialties Metric Catalog or Fatbook Metric catalogs he can help you out, good prices and service. Tires, batteries, for sure.
Thats if you prefer buying from independent shops for your stuff. His name is Phil Suddeth owns California Phils (Its in Concordia KS) I've known and bought from him for years. Straight up honest man.

4MUL8RI order from my local dealer and get OEM parts. Revzilla was impressive when I wanted to buy a helmet. But, I ultimately bought a new Arai from my local dealer.

I am an OEM guy. I have not found a good OEM parts distributor online for bikes
Porsche is a completely different story.

Valpo FzAlmost nobody carries OEM parts on hand, some are just better at getting them processed. I use Bike Bandit and Revzilla for most everything.

Those guys ^^^
If not them, try Motosport.com or BTOsports.com
And it is categorically not true that they don't stock OEM parts. They absolutely do, especially for a common late model that hasn't really had any significant changes since its introduction - like the DRZ400.
