Best place for stock parts / aftermarket copies

[knucks]

I am slowly cleaning up my bike, need to get some gaskets for my clutch and ignition cover, for instance.
Best place? I've seen sets on eBay, just seeing if there are others.
I like being able to pay with PayPal and sometimes even free shipping

Thanks!

You could check out mikesxs.com, but on some things ebay may be your best place if you know what your buying, or our classifieds here on our forum.

When it comes to oem type parts this is the place! http://www.boats.net/parts/search/Yamaha/Motorcycle/parts.html

If you're serious about keeping the bike for a while and working on it, a complete engine gasket set is your best option. You will need and use pretty much everything in it eventually, and it's cheaper to get all the gaskets in a kit. Many of us have used the Athena gasket set in the past with good results but I can't recommend buying it from Mike's any more. They've jacked their price on it to near $70. Search eBay and you can find it for not much more than $40. Mike's standard gasket set is another option at just over $40, but unless you have a large enough order to qualify for free shipping, you can, again, do better on eBay.

For OEM parts, Boats is good, but for my buck, I like Stadium Yamaha. Cheapest I have found thus far.

Otherwise, like 5twins said, eBaY may be the best bet. A lot of times you can get a cheaper price than Mikes and free shipping.

You're right, their prices do beat Boats.net. I'll have to try them. How are their shipping rates?

I just looked at Stadium. Those are good prices!

Just looked at Stadium, under 1971 stuff. Must be jinxed. Got security warnings and my browser crashed. Will try again later.

I've ordered from Stadium a couple times. Once because I had issues with a Boats order, but to their defense, it was the post office that lost the package. Slippery flat gasket probably slipped down in some crevice. Other part was a clutch boss assay for my '04 Warrior. Stadium was about $35 cheaper. Shipping it not as friendly as Boats, but from what I have seen, you can save more on the part at Stadium than what you save on shipping from Boats. I have not placed a huge order though.
