Looking for new turn signals, clutch handle, exhaust etc.

Looking for the best sites preferably canadian but will shop america if I have to, that I can order off.

Let me know your favorites thanks.
 
This has been a big part of my life lately, as I've been rebuilding an old Honda into a track bike.

There's no one shop that covers all your bases. Canadian distribution is a messy thing (I did a thread about this elsewhere recently) and no online shop lists every product available. The approach I took was to figure out the bits that I wanted, then compare prices and look for overlaps to save on shipping.

I've used the following recently:

- Fortnine: okay prices, okay selection. Mostly bought because I enjoy their YouTube channel. Biggest advantage is they have more in stock than other Canadian online vendors, so you get stuff quick.

- Bayside Performance: typically the best prices in Canada (except for tires, then nobody can beat Pete's Superbikes). It's a much smaller outfit than Fortnine, so little stock and shipping therefore takes longer. Excellent sportbike selection.

- Revzilla: huge US outfit, okay prices, excellent stock let down by using UPS for shipping (avoid UPS and FedEx whenever possible, as the random brokerage fees can quickly delete any deals).

- Amazon: weirdly expensive and only good for small junk so far (ordered stainless zip ties for an exhaust repack)

- Ebay; good for used bits if you hunt around (prices vary wildly, some hilariously high). Almost never better for new, and odds of getting some counterfeit junk are high.

- Kurvey Girl: Best service and most thoughtful packaging from any store I've ever used. Specializing in track and/or sport stuff, and oddball bits and pieces like brake reservoir mounts and safety clips. For example, ordered a set of 90 degree valve stems, and they came in a bag with clear instructions and a tiny tube of 242 threadlock, just in case you didn't have any.

- Carpi Moto: Italian shop with by far the best Brembo pricing I found anywhere. Payment can get a bit wacky as some CC's don't work with their bank.

- FC-Moto: German megastore, best for gear. Shipping is faster and cheaper than most US sellers, prices excellent for some brands. Good selection.

- Partzilla: best stock for OEM bits. If it says 'Ships immediately', it will ship soon. If it says 'Ships in 2-3 days', it could be a much longer wait. Make separate orders if you're in a hurry.

- Motosport: Okay selection and price for OEM bits.

- Racetorx: cool billet aluminum Ti and aluminum stuff for decent prices. Shipping has taken ages, though.

- R&G: Direct from manufacturer, parts were much cheaper than Canadian seller, and shipping was super fast.

How many months in advance do you have to schedule time for them to mount tires

Fair enough. Might make sense if they were going to install, but they're on the wrong side of the city for me.

I'm also not a fan of playing those games. Tell me your best price, don't make me have to haggle every time. Pete's gives you the best price as soon as you ask.

And full disclosure, I paid a bit more than I would at Pete's to buy and install a set of Q4's at Ace Moto Tech recently, mostly because the folks there were great to deal with. Their quoted price was close enough to pay the extra...

I mount them myself, at my convenience.

How's Pete's for installation?

If one was installing the tires oneself, I imagine it'd be the same.

If you needed the tires mounted, it wouldn't make sense to buy them from GP if they weren't able to do it in a reasonable time. From what I read on here, GP Bikes does not seem to ever have techs available in the near future. I don't really have firsthand experience, so it was half an honest question
