Hey guys, where is your go-to place for ordering OEM parts? How's the shipping time? How're the prices?
I'm looking for replacement saddlebags and want to make sure I get the lowest price I can find.
Thanks all!

Re: Best place to buy OEM parts is...?
Doing up a shopping spreadsheet at the moment.
So far Partshark seems the best for me, including shipping.
There are quite a few good USA vendors, Motosport, Partzilla, Yamaha Sports Plaza, BOATS, Stadium Yamaha to name a few, all good !
For me shipping plays a big part.
Parts in Australia are about 3-4 times the price, we get reamed.

ronayers.com has an easily accessible microfiche. I usually buy from my local dealer whenever possible, but apparently I have an exceptional dealer.

Re: Best place to buy OEM parts is...?
I envy you guys with great dealers. Mine will likely never see anything other than warranty work after my experience so far.
They were really great in selling me the bike. But after I got it home, the first time I opened the glove box I found the latch for it was broken. And yes, I read the whole manual the first night, so I knew the key had to be on to open it. I think someone forced on the showroom floor.
They took pictures and said they would submit it to Yamaha for warrantee, even though it is not a warrantee issue. I thought at the time they were ordering a new glove box. Went in Tuesday to get my plate and asked about the glove box, and it was never ordered. The parts guy thought the service guy was handling it under warrantee, and the service guy thought the parts guy was ordering it.
Now they say they are trying to get Yamaha to cover it under "good will", but haven't heard back yet. Truth is I think they never asked yet until I was back in there. Then they say they can't order it without my approval in case Yamaha won't good will it, as it's $268 and I would need to pay for it. I said I don't think so, I bought a brand new bike and it's broken.
I would have expected them to have ordered it themselves, and replaced it to take care of me, and if Yamaha good willed it then great for them! That's how I learned how to take care of customers working in sales and service anyway.
Supposedly it is now ordered, and if Yamaha won't cover it the parts guy said he will talk to the owner and the general manager and "see what they can do." I said, Oh, yes! We certainty will!
