subject: OEM Parts and Accessories or Aftermarket, How Do I Know What's Best For My Motorcycle? [print this page] There are a lot of websites to choose from, how do I pick one? There are a lot of websites. There are many reputable sites to choose from, and some you certainly want to avoid including some e-bay sellers.. Typically it is pretty easy to create a vendor relationship with the major aftermarket suppliers. Some require a store front, and others just have a minimum order. It is hard to know whether you're shopping with a real company or simply purchasing a product from a guy working part time from his garage. This is why we recommend you shop with a franchised dealer. There are many benefit to purchasing your parts, accessories and gear through an authorized dealer. First, franchised dealers are held to a higher standard. They are backed by the manufacturers they sell. They are also regulated by the state they operate within, specifically by the DMV (department of motor vehicles) and State Attorney General's Office. They are required to hold bonds, and if they do not fulfill your order, there is a means for recourse. In addition to this, franchised dealers are the only place you can purchase the OEM parts and OEM accessories for your motorcycle or ATV; and since they have access to all the same aftermarket accessories and gear that the independents have, why not do all your shopping in one place.
