Hey lovely people.
Where do you generally buy things for a service? Things like oil filters and the 'washer thing' for the oil drain screw. (I'm sure you can tell I know all the technical terms) There is a Suzuki shop in Daventry called BikersWorld, but wasn't sure if I'd get ripped off going to a main garage/dealer!? Is there somewhere better online? Thanks in advance |

I usually get oil filters and washers from my local bike shop and oil from Halfords. You can get everything on-line of course but I like the immediate take-home effect from buying in shops. If you want to get a feel for general prices - use Google!

Bikers world in daventry is a good shop just stay away from the one in coleshill, it's a much bigger shop but I have my doubts they know what a bike is. But that's just my opinion

A mix of local dealers, Halfords and a selection of about 4 websites.

If you are able to take delivery at home (not everybody is in during the day) then it's so much easier to buy consumables over the Internet, even oil. I still like to stick my head in the local bike shop every now and then just so I can kid myself I'm helping keep them afloat but a few clicks on the mouse whilst sat here in the evening is just so much simpler for the everyday items.

+1 for wemoto, used them for ages. Very Fast postage and dispatch although possibly a little pricey.
