I'm all for buying parts from indies but the problem is, I work too much and don't have good access to indies when I need parts. The wife can only do so many parts runs for me so I rely on the internets a lot for parts.
The dreaded ebay is a good source for cheap stock parts. A buddy of mine in offroading told me one time the key to the reliability to his offroad rigs is the use of stock parts. Not only are they considerably cheaper than bling parts, but they are readily available.
It also allows you to spend on better parts in better places. So most stocker large parts I source off ebay.
Stocker new parts, like motor parts, I get from Bike Bandit. I don't like to promote a lot of things, but Bike Bandit does a lot of parts. They ship FAST too. I ordered some head gaskets for the ironhead and got them in two days. Badass shipping, great internet site and they've never let me down. I'm always looking for last minute parts and they always seem to have them and deliver. So if you are in the market, look them up, but support your local indie first.
