Ron Ayers Motorsports also has some decent pricing on stuff.

I've bought OEM parts online from mrcycles.com, cheapcycleparts.com and bikebandit.com. Haven't had a problem with any of them. I compare prices among them, including shipping charges and go from there. ronayers.com is a good one too, although I've never used them.

I've had good service with Ron Ayers, Ron Greene, and Bikebandit.

I've had good service from Bike Bandit.com.

Just bought a set of Michelin commanders from Derby Cycle. They were $218.00 shipped to me. :)

Sam is the best one that I have used. I have bought off of Ayers and he is a lot more expensive. I compared a list from Ayers and Sam. Ayers wanted $708 and I got the same OEM parts from Sam for $487 and that's a lot of savings.

On a side not I got a box from Ayers one day with some parts in it and an invoice for a guy in NC. I called the guy but never had an answer so I called Ayers and it took me three calls and a lot of time to finally get them to schedule a pickup of the mis-directed box of parts. Hey they were not mine and I did not pay for them so they had to go back, but Ayers sure made it hard to do and I mean real hard.

After trying to be a honest person I thought maybe an attaboy or a discount certificate (they give them out) but nope my reward was my conscience and I guess I should be satisfied with that.

Anyway Sam is the best place to buy parts and I just ordered another $800 worth and I bet Ayers would have cost me $1,000 or better

I've been pleased with the prices and service at Ron Greene's.

They list both the manufacture's MSRP and their price so it's easy to see your savings.

How do you like those Commanders??

I just got a quote on some new shocks from Sam at Smith Bros, and it was nearly $100 less per shock than Bikebandit.com.

I can't imagine I'll be buying much from them anymore. A set of Nomad shocks from Bikebandit was about $900, but only about $700 from Sam.

At this point I can get custom chromed billlet rebuildable air shocks for under $700 so I don't think I'll ever buy the stockers.
