I've used bikebandit and cheapcycleparts, both seem fine if I need a few item ($50+) but buying individual parts is usually less expensive through a local dealer due to shipping costs.
Have any of you T-Dubber's ever done business with an online outfit called, BikeBandit.com? They advertise OEM parts for TW's as well as my '82 Honda XL185. I just wonder if they're the Real McCoy, and reputable.

For OEM I buy most stuff from powersedge.com. They have the best prices I've found online.
Accessories (what few there are for the TW), tires/tubes, I order from rockymountainmc.com or motosport.com.
Lytle Racing group has good pricing on o-ring chains (OEM length, so you don't have to cut them) and sprockets.
For OEM I use www.stadiumyamaha.com For tires, www.americanmototire.com For aftermarket, www.bikebandit.com and www.denniskirk.com For everything, www.ebay.com
I've used Stadium, Bike Bandit and Rockymountain all good.

You get a small discount at the bandit if you are a AMA member.
I like Bikebandit.com They seem to have a pretty good selection of parts for newer and even vintage bikes, plus their located in (or near) San Diego which means (typically) parts arrive to me here in Fullerton (~2 hours from San Diego) within a day or two.
I used to use powersedge a lot (even though their in Michigan) however I didn't like that sometimes they would list a part as being available then E-mail after I placed the order to tell me that it wasn't. To be fair that generally happened when I ordered parts for my older Honda's. TW's seem to still be new enough that most places have (or can get) most parts fairly quickly.

Ready for this one, try boats.net their search engine is horrible so you may want to have to part number you need handy but the stuff is OEM and cheaper then the stealership. They have everything from racks to jet kits for the TW.
I use boats.net for OEM parts like washers and valve screw etc., tw-parts.com for tires, chains and tuning parts, and eBay for everything else.
