I am going to tear into rear end and needing dampers, brake pads, thrust washer, etc.  Where are you guys going to for oem parts these days?

I've found they beat just about any of the more popular sources usually mentioned on here. If the order is over $99, you get free shipping....I realize most others also offer that but the prices make it worthwhile.  cooldude

Agree with John but also have a look at Partzilla. RIDE SAFE.

But if not free shipping ($99), shipping with other sellers will likely be cheaper.

But Procaliber is beating everyone on part prices last I checked.

When I am close to free shipping, I usually order extra filters (air, oil) or other wear items to get me free shipping (brake pads, petcock coverset, fairing anchors, vacuum caps, Kuryakyn replacement rubbers, shifter rubber, shifter seal, thrust washer, moly paste).

(On any seller's site) add all to cart, go to check out, and see what shipping (and total) will be before pushing the last button.

they have OEM parts in range of procaliper and partzilla.

benefit only have to spend $75 for free shipping and less than $75, flat $7 to ship.

they also have a lot of Honda chemicals at good prices. recently bought Hondaline thread locks, cheaper than any auto store, even the Honda medium strength high temp for rotor bolts.

agree,  procaliber at the time a few years ago had the cheapest HONDA OEM front and rear brake pads and rubber rear shock absorber inserts.

Before buying from online, take those prices to your local dealer, and see how much they will sell you the same items for. No shipping, but most likely local tax.

So far, I get a local more reasonable price that I am willing to pay.

My experience is Honda dealers will never try to match best (internet) prices on Honda parts.  Also with tires (I tried several times, and even with a higher install price if I bring my own tire, I was still well ahead of their tire price (and cheaper install).  Up to maybe $80 a tire higher.

I've been told their franchise agreements require them to follow listed Honda prices (maybe Tucker Rocky/Parts Unlimited too).

Now if you just bought a new bike from them, or if they have something that's been sitting around in stock for a long time, that may be different.

When I needed a battery couple years ago my dealer did in fact price match on a Yusa brand battery. And I was the one that installed the acid so Fresh battery.  cooldude On Some spendy stuff they extend me a loyal customer/Military/old fart sorta discount.  2funny RIDE SAFE.

I'd like to, but the closest shop is 30 miles away.  Besides, the last time I went there, I was out doing other errands and knew I'd be going by the store.  Stopped, noticed the lot was kinda empty, thought business was slow, tried to open the door, locked.  What?  Closed? On a Wednesday?  Checked the sign, yep, closed Wednesdays.

What, are they doctors or something?

Don't plan on going back.

I've bought parts from PartZilla, Procaliber, RockyMT, Honda Direct and a few others I can't recall.  I was using Procaliber exclusively for a while till they messed up two orders in a row and took too long to fix it.

I'm pretty much using PartZilla now, they seem to get it right every time.

I've bought a lot lately and Partzilla did a good job plus had the cheapest prices for me.
I just replaced the rear dampers myself, someone said to get the interstate ones because the others don't have the center bushing, I did not bother to check this out, I just ordered the Interstate dampers and they work perfect...
