New source for OEM parts

Just found another source for original Honda Scooter parts. BikeBandit.com has an easy to navigate website and seems to be reasonable with their pricing. Needed a new seat lift for my 2008 and found one in stock there. Have read about others being fortunate enough to find workable replacements in parts houses, but when you live in L.A. (lower Alabama). the pickings are often slim.

Like with any other online discounter, it pays to shop prices. A lot of their smaller, less expensive parts are priced the same as my local dealership gets. With shipping one could actually pay more. As far as I know, Bikebandit doesn't stock parts in general, but orders them from manufacturers ' warehouses and reships to the customer.

I do business with Servicehonda.com or Discountcycleparts.com. Bikebandit is near the bottom of the list of discounters I buy from.

Thanks for the info sctr199. Will check these out as well.

sctr199, it looks like Discountcycleparts.com domain is up for sale. I tried it and that's what I found.

Oops, I meant Cheapcycleparts.com, then there's Partzilla.com and probably lots more online discounters that others here know of. My first choice is Servicehonda.com.

I have used bikebandit and partzilla. Very happy with both!

Bike Bandit is terrific for silverwing parts, but you get dinged for customs and shipping
if coming up to Canada - makes it pretty pricy - anyone aware of Canadian SW source? I've been looking but not much has come up.

I use local Honda Dealer, want him to stay in business in case I need him. Ask for discount, I know I get one.

R653, I haven't found any Canadian suppliers either. I came across a Toronto store one time and instead of giving a price for the items, every single item had a " call for price" notation beside it !! I found that so frustrating. Best bet for local pricing is the local Honda dealer and generally they don't charge shipping unless it is huge item.
