Best places to buy gear online.
http://www.revzilla.com/sportbike-gear has some great helmet prices (Esp. on Suomy and Velmar - Velmar Carbon Eclipse for $380 )
www.sportbiketrackgear.com. Excellent staff, online YouTube videos with full tear-downs of all the gear, 6 club racers and 3 AMA racers on staff to help in any way. And a very simple saying, "If we don't use it, we don't sell it."
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.

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 !!
I personnally get all of my gear from www.motorcyclesuperstore.com. They have a lot of great stuff not just riding gear at pretty decent prices. Good luck.
