I noticed a few good links on this forum for places to get products at good prices. Just wondering if anyone would like to have a sticky or just a thread for this kind of information. I know I'm always on the lookout for the best deal when I buy something. For example, most everyone knows about Newenough as a good place for bargain hunting on suits, jackets, gloves, boots, etc. The Shoei helmet link down the page was a good find too. A contributor on the S3 forum had a great thread going on how to modify Vortex frame sliders for the 1050 Speed Triple. What d'you guys think?

Sounds like a great idea. Two questions: How regionalized are these places? Do shipping costs count?

A lot of ebay items lose their charm due to ridiculous shipping costs, so I think a good deal has to factor them in. I'm not sure what you're meaning by regionalized places. We're living in a global economy where a significant amount of business is done via mail order, so it wouldn't matter to me where a dealer/item is located.
I'll toss one out here - I bought some CRG lane-splitter bar end mirrors some months ago at Cycle Depot. When some of the people on the S3 forum were talking about good deals on these, I spoke with the salesman there and he agreed to do a group buy on them for (I think) $126 per pair. I don't recall whether shipping was included, but if not, it was cheap.
