Re: online parts and accessories
Can't beat ronayers.com for OEM stuff, plus they have an online parts fiche.
One caveat here; I've said it before on this site and I'll say it again. They base their shipping prices on the order's dollar amount. $0-100 is all the same price. Order a $4 gasket and it's $7 to ship. Order a $99 mirror (yikes) and it's still $7 shipping. So when I only need something relatively cheap, I'll go ahead and order my "yearly" maintainence needs: chain lube, lot's of honda polish, fork oil, antifreeze (big-*** gallon size), etc. My last order was nearly 30 lbs and it still cost $7 to ship. 8)
For those of you scratching your heads wondering why I would order a $4 gasket on line instead of going to my local dealer, here's why:
1) It would cost about $8 (OK maybe $6)
2) I'd have to pay tax on it
3) It's a 110 mile round trip to the closest one
4) It's usually two trips (one to order and pay in person) another to pick up
5) Nothing in stock so it would take just as long to get (longer actually)

Re: online parts and accessories
Thanks for the info on ronayers shipping charges.
As for accessories, there are plenty of places. there is no one place that is the best choice, so you have to be more specific on what it is you are trying to get.

If you know the part number, Service Honda offers great prices as well.
