The closest dealer to me wants me to come in to order parts. I'd like to just call in and have parts delivered to me. Very busy these days.

I looked at the supporting vendor section but theres just so many of of them.

So anybody can point me to the right direction? Like which dealer has the best prices and will ship the parts to my home.

Thank you guyz!

talk to Tripp at Precision but I believe that all of the sponsors will ship to your house and most, if not all, give a BadWeb discount.

You can't go wrong with any of the sponsors here, I have had good experiences with Liberty, Precision, Ray Price, Danbury, Appleton WI, and some others.

I'm voting for Liberty. I've ordered parts a few times and got them faster than expected.

Seriously if they're OEM commonly needed parts - often Al at American Sport Bike will stock them.

There are several dealers that have threads in the sponsors section. You can just post what you need and they will get it for you. You'll obviously have to call or email to arrange payment and shipping the first time.

Appleton was the first sponsor to do this, back when Dave S worked there. Since then several others have followed suit. I use Ray Price because they are my local dealer. They treat me well.

>>>American Sport Bike doesn't give a BadWeb discount

Why would they? With the LEVEL OF SERVICE they offer they are a steal (and I'd buy from them) if they ADDED 10%. Frankly, I'd look at the "discount" as the time Al spends on the phone with folks and the amount of $$ he saves folks from spending on the wrong stuff. Kinda cool to know that he (an Engineer by trade) tests, tries and knows this stuff as well as anyone.

They are a heck of a great deal and resource.

+1 on what Court said!

the service that Al provides is far better than any discount! Never let price determine the final buying decision!

Quit yer complaining about the BW discount.

Al and Joanne at American Sport Bike regularly work six days a week to provide their customers with products and technical support. Al probably knows more about Buells than most Buell employees. His knowledge and desire to help are first rate. I run by their office on a regular basis and Al is more often than not, dispensing free advice and support to his customers.

During the Daytona 200, Al spent most of his time helping a Bueller customer instead of drinking beer and watching the race. Good deal for me because I got more than my share of the pitcher.

Buellers need to support companies like American Sport Bike.

Might be prudent for Al to give a 20% discount and charge the $1250/hr he got as an engineer for "phone consultation".

My bet is that I save more, buying from Al . . . who makes sure I don't buy the wrong stuff. . . than I would if I got 50% off at a dealer.

Just saying . . .

Neither does Danbury.

Liberty does, so they get my business.

Call me cheap or whatever, but I work hard for my money, 10% of 500 is fifty bucks in my pocket!

If some of you guys would rather pay more, then go for it.

Get off your high horses folks.

Sorry but for common parts phone support is not needed. On top of that, the extra 10% discount usually pays for shipping the items. Sorry that I don't have the money, that you have, to pay more for parts when I don't have to.

Why should I have to pay an extra 10% for someone else's phone support?




I'm not knocking Al or American Sport Bike as I have given them my business, as well as a lot of other sponsors, in the past and will in the future.

Precision also gives a 10% BadWeb discount.

No need to jump all over Damnut.
He simply stated a fact.
No judgments were made in the post unless you are trying too hard to read something in to it.

I have ordered from Al several times as well, but I will always search for the best overall value.

When I wanted someone to help me with my homework (gearing swap, non OE parts, etc), I called Al, and he gave me confidence that I was getting the right stuff with no hassles.

If I needed a simple replacement OE part, lowest price carries more weight.
I have still ordered this from Al recently, though, since he had the parts in stock, avoiding the uncertainty of a Buell warehouse wait.
Also American Sport Bike's website made it easy to find the parts, see the price, and know availability before I placed the order.
Time=money=hassle avoidance, sometimes.

I avoid my "local" (90 miles) dealer, because I do not feel they are really into Buell, and they are zero help with parts orders. They have also sent me damaged parts in the past (poorly packed).

if you have part numbers, you can order directly online and save 20% at chicagoharley.com on all parts and accessories. I personally have ordered from them twice before.
