    Hi all

    Where do you buy your service parts?
    Does everyone buy on eBay and Amazon? Does anyone buy their parts locally (Dublin)?

    Cheers

    Everything comes from Ebay.

    I know we should support our local bike shops, but Ebay is just so much cheaper for consumables like service kits, brake pads & other sundries that you can easily do yourself.

    Mostly sportbikeshop, thevisorshop and ebay. The prices in here are almost always 20% or more expensive. I have actually yet to find anything that is cheaper in Ireland than buying online. I use amazon UK a lot as well since they post orders over 25£ to Ireland for free.

    I use amazon, eBay, m&p direct, I’m in limerick so my choices are very limited
    Meskells are a bit pricey

    Just a word of warning. Be careful with buying spark plugs off ebay and even some sellers on Amazon, there are a lot of fakes out there.

    That being said, I buy most of my bits from ebay and Amazon. I also find motorcycleshop.ie to be very good as mentioned. Keep an eye on their clearance section, I have got some good bargains there. I like them cause they do next day DPD delivery if you order more than €50 worth.

    M&P direct in Wales for everything and I recommend goldfren brake pads, someone on here possibly (Maikkomi sp) said they were good and they are very good and really cheap

    I prefer to use koyo bearings myself.
    I think allballs are rebranded Chinese bearings.

    I bought a nice few bits off https://m.louis.ie, their a German company. You can select your bike form their search tool and anything they have thats compatible with your bike will pop up like service parts and add on’s like levers and slipons.
    Iv used motorcycle.ie shop to run by lee Honda the lads in their are bang on. The visorshop up north are great to.
