This is the place to go; http://www.procaliber.com/

They're out of Vancouver, WA which might bother some due to the distance. However, everything they've shipped has been 2-day priority and since it was over $100, it was free.. The last part I needed left there Monday, delivered today. Like any of the dealers, they order from a warehouse source, but I found their prices well below others. Once it's "in house" it gets shipped quickly. Price example: new water pump for the 1200 through Partszilla, $122.xx, through Procaliber....$112.xx.  Check them out, compare prices, it will take all of the dealers about the same time to move it from the Honda warehouse to the dealer, but the shipping makes up for it....free if the order is over $99.

I just checked on front brake pads/per set for my Valk; Partzilla...$35.87, ProCaliber...$32.12. So, replace all pads and you're just below the $99, then toss in new piston seals for all three calipers and now you get free shipping. A u-joint: Partszilla...$130.82, ProCaliber...$120.86 w/free shipping. Just passing on my experience.  cooldude

Hopefully you have better luck than I did. The couple of times I went in there and ordered parts when they came in they were wrong. After taking an ATV in there for servicing I would never have them work on my bike. I guess with their online ordering you are the one picking the part number so you will most likely get the right part.

Thanks John, we always seem to have a list of parts to be replaced for these older bikes.  Right now, only about $15 worth, but I have yet to do the winter inspection.

Probably couldn't necessarily go by mileage alone. I changed mine out when they had quite a bit of slop side to side. With your wheel off, stick your finger in them and see how much wiggle they have.
As long as you're ordering them, it wouldn't hurt to change em out if you have some "play".

Just wanted to relate my experience with ProCaliber.com.

Ordered about $270.00 in parts on 12/7/14.

Almost complete order showed up on 12/24/14.

Some small spacers used on the coil were back ordered and they contacted me with the option of canceling for a refund or they will send later.

Pricing is lower than what I've experienced with other suppliers, but shipping (which was free) took longer.

All in all, good deal cooldude cooldude

Thanks John
