Where Do You Buy Your Kit Online?

[jsmyth]

I see a lot of talk about dealers here, places to go etc. That's all very well - I'm going to a real shop later to try out some trousers, 'cos I'd rather not buy something like a helmet or other clothing without knowing it fits.

But what if I want to get something like luggage or accessories online? is it cheaper to get stuff like that? I'm looking at getting a set of K4s for side panniers, and wondering if there's anywhere online I can get it cheaper than a big dealer.

So where do you get your stuff online?

#1: eBay - by FAR the best source of... everything. However, lately I've noticed that "Royal" mail from the UK royally sucks - small items taking 3 weeks is incredibly bad by any standards. I used to think it was the Irish An Post system, but its the UK's fault lately at least.

#2: Hein-Gericke (To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.) - they've got stores in Newry and Belfast, if you want to go direct, but once in a while they'll have a bargain deal on the website.

#3: Crosson's (To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.) - they've also got their store in Newry. Great for visors; they've also got Richa gear. I'll be up there on Saturday (since I'll be in Dundalk anyway for a wedding [blech]). I think they've got free shipping to the south on tyres and orders over £100 or something like that.

Yup I got a pair of Alt-Berg bike boots. Very comfortable & sturdy. They didn't charge vat & postage was cheap. Top buy.
