online parts?

Post by bowyorang »

Any suggestions for a good, trustworthy website for ordering parts for my R1100R? No dealer around here so I'll have to go that route. About to get those fork seals replaced and got to get them ordered.
Thanks!

Where are you? Shipping will be a little cheaper if you order from nearby, so that might make the difference.

I've had very good luck with everyone I've ordered parts from, although I've heard about some issues from Chicago BMW. Sierra BMW is nearby, and they've always treated me well, so I get most things from them: http://www.sierrabmwonline.com/index.php

I usually just go there (about 60 miles away), but I've had them send me stuff too. They're a nice family business that only went as "boutique" as BMW required. A&S (about 100 miles away) really went whole hog with the boutique thing, but they've treated me well too. http://www.ascycles.com/

I've had good luck with Max BMW for my K bike. Probably should have the same for your R.
