While shopping for parts a while back, I found this place. Here is their website:
Powersports Plus (a/k/a boats.net)
I have transacted about 4 orders with them now.
They sell OEM and AM (aftermarket) parts, and their prices seem pretty decent. You won't pay retail on Suzuki parts.
From what I can tell, they are located in Florida, but my shipments come out of Georgia- a plus for me since the warehouse there is closer to me than the main location in Florida, and I pay no tax.
One huge plus for them is their shipping rates if you just need a few small parts. They still use USPS regular mail. If you need < $10 of parts, the shipping is $1.75- yes, under $2 delivered to your mailbox. I recently lost some parts while rebuilding my carbs, and this saved me some cash. It's literally cheaper than driving 30 miles to the closest dealer with gas @ $4/gallon.
One drawback is finding the parts. It's best if you come onto the site with your part # in hand (or on your computer's clipboard to paste it
). They do offer diagrams but the format is different than most dealer sites- you can find the OEM parts by entering your year/make/model on the front page, and then under "Part Type" click on "Components". This will give you a listing of the OEM categories like the dealers use, and when you click on them, you'll see the regular parts diagram and listing.
Communication is top notch. They email you upon the order being placed, and then when it is shipped. My small carb spacer and an oil fill cap were initially slated to ship on 4/18, but they actually shipped a couple days early.
