I posted this in the Small Bandit specific forum also so Mods,if you think I should delete one or the other,just PM me and I'll dump one.Anyway,here you go:

 I've ordered up alot of OEM pieces parts for the B4 over the last few months. Two coments on 2 places in particular. The first one is Bike Bandit. Very profesional,by the book procedures,great navigation on the sight and pretty good customer service. But....FULL RETAIL on OEM parts.
The second and BEST BEST BEST overall is Service Honda out of Hammond Indiana.They do their OEM parts buisness at http://xtremeusa.com and my parts guys name is Mark.
Mark has gone above and beyond the call of duty to keep me posted on the status of the backordered parts,always been there when I called and never ever rushed me off the phone.
Parts always arived when promised and tracking info e-mailed as soon as the parts were shipped. The added extra bonus on top of the impecable service were their prices. Every part at a minimum of 30% off retail.I'm a "support your dealer" kind of guy and will continue to do so when I need stuff for my Hondas but for everything else.Its Service Honda (xtremeusa) parts from here on out.

Good info!  It's always good to hear positive experiences like that. 

I'm cool with it being in both forums.  I don't know that we have a lot of crossover between the two.

Hmm,..  interesting,.. any chance your parts guy will ship to Canada?  That's the problem I've always had with Service Honda.  I can't get the stuff.... 

That said,.. in a lot of cases, my bill at my local dealer comes in fairly close when I figure in freight.

Hey! I appreciate that! Thanks!
