+1 on www.sportbiketrackgear.com

I live nearby and stop by there at least once a week to check stuff out. Awesome people who all ride daily and really know their stuff. Just bought a helmet and gloves from there and couldn't be happier.

www.motorcycle-superstore.com

Great prices, huge selection, fast shipping and great return policy. I've returned a few things and never had to pay any BS 20% restocking fee, unlike some other online places.

Beware of extremesupply.com. Yes, from personal experience. They tend (or used to) represent having actual product in stock when they don't. You order, pay, & expect delivery. However, after the delivery date comes & goes...& you inquire, you find out that they've supposedly got it "backordered"...& will "ship when they get it in"...w/ no expectation of when that will ever be.

Communication from them was non-existent. We had to initiate all contact. After three wks of this stuff, we decided to cancel the order. At this point, extremesupply said the product was ordered on our behalf & wouldn't allow cancelation. :O Say what???

Ultimately, we had to get our credit card company involved w/ disputing the charge. It wasn't til our cc company contacted extremesupply that we finally got our refund. Even then, it took days & days to process.

Caveat Emptor. Best you can do is read reviews & feedback from forums like this & make as best of an educated decision as possible. That being said, I've ordered from bikebandit, ronayers, cyclegear, hotbodies, competitionwerkes, chaparral motorsports, newenough, ...w/ good experiences from all of them.

+1 on Revzilla. Great bunch of guys there. I cheat and walk into their store. But the fact they maintain an actual store is a big plus. Some of these guys may be dropshipping stuff. Revzilla does have a warehouse. They obviously don't stock every tire variation in their store so when I bought tires from them, they had them ups next day from the warehouse to my door.

I bought a $250 pair of Alpinestar GP Pro gloves from www.Etrade0101.com for $105 shipped. I was sure I would get a cheap knock off pair of gloves in the mail, but they are 100% legit. The owner of the site is also a ebay seller by the name of Edepot.99 if you wish to check feedback. He sells almost the entire Alpinestar lineup for more then 50% off. If you need a great set of gloves, at an even better price check this guy out !!

+1 motorcycle-superstore.com...

I've bought 3 helmets from them, 2 jackets, a set of tires, and numerous orders of casual clothes. Easy to navigate their site, great sales, prompt shipping!
