Get some bike magazines - Rapid or Aust motorcycle news. They have heaps and heaps of suppliers that are all reputable. Or if you've got a paypal account you can look OS - bit more risk though, but usually lots cheaper. I've bought a lot of stuff from USA and UK thru paypal, and only had two items not turn up. Best way to get info on stores OS is join WW forum of some kind - RRZone, Gixxer.com, Superbike etc etc then hunt around the forums or post a thread asking there.

with the current exchange rate, ive found it next to pointless to shop over seas at the moment, espec when alot of bike shops want the business to.
pretty much any 'big' online store is fine, make sure it has a real life store too.
ive used superbikesupply, critichalcompnents, morepowerracing, tobefast and formula-xtreme for my R6

Our local shops are not doing it as tuff as some of the OS shops who will bend over friggin backwards to get your business at moment...
last purchase from usa, bout a month ago - oneal element mx boots - $120 at the door. Find somewhere local that will do those boots for under $250 + delivery ? And that was with Aust dollar at .65US cents...
