Favorite source for Honda or aftermarket parts?
I read the sticky, but it's not much more than a list of names.
So far I've purchased from a few places, but haven't found any that impress me yet.
Ronayers has good prices, but shipping takes forever. Even "overnight" shipping would take 5 days from them.
BikeBandit, not quite as good selection, a tad bit faster on shipping.
The local Honda dealer sucks *****, never has anything in stock, insane prices, and have to drive there twice just to get one part.
This time around I just need some valve cover gaskets and maybe a double-bubble windscreen, so I'd prefer to find a place that has both oem and aftermarket stuff with decent prices and much faster shipping. I know of plenty of places for car parts that do just that.

I won't order from anyone in CA because I don't like to pay Taxes if I don't have too, unless the prices are lower than everyone else.
For OEM parts I like www.Honda-partsDirect.com. They are almost as cheap as Ron Ayers, and For us west coast guys the parts get here faster than Ron Ayers, since Honda-partsDirect are in Texas. I wish there was someone in Nevada or Oregon who had competitive prices with these guys. Parts would be here that much faster and still tax free.
For gear I find www.motorcycle-superstore.com hard to beat for prices and shipping. They are in Oregon. Everything gets to me in 2-3 days for $6.99 or Free (if I spend over $75).

And what's wrong with the Honda bike dealers?
When I go to a Chevy dealer, if they don't have it in stock they can pull up the inventory of all the other dealers, and either have it shipped there, to me (for a fee), or I can drive there myself.
The Honda motorcycle dealers I've dealt with so far around here don't do any of that. It's as if there is no such thing as a dealer network.

These guys are in Arizona and beat Ron Ayers prices. They don't mention shipping prices on the site, but I called them and they told me they charge:
$12 for orders less than $50.
$15 for orders between $50 - $175.
Free for any thing over $175.
