OEM parts sources... besides Ebay.

What is generally accepted as a good place to get OEM parts? I bought some I/S hardbags for my standard and I need to find hinges, latches, mounting hardware etc.... seem to be hard to come by nowadays. Anyone know where I can get these parts?

Unless things have changed, you can get most any OEM part (other than some of the accessories)
easily. In the last couple of years I've ordered saddlebag hinges (and lots of other little chrome
doo-dads and holders), crash bars, master cylinders, driveshaft & yoke & associated bits....

I order stuff from Honda Direct Line...

I'd have to say that you should get in good with the parts guy at the local Honda dealership.
My local dealer is always willing to order any Valk parts I've ever needed, and they always beat the on-line prices. They always have the parts by Thursday of the following week. Also most any dealership will give you at least a 10% discount if you are an AMA member.
Just because our bikes are no longer being made, doesn't mean that you can't get new parts!!!

Honda Line Direct seem to have as good of pricing as anyone else.  Price local shops, maybe they have what you need just lying around.

I have noticed that used parts on ebay often sell for more than the new part costs at HDL (even including the HDL handling fee of $7.50).
