Question Alternatives to the Dealer for Parts Supplies?

I really don't like going near my dealer these days. Mostly because I felt that they ripped me off once and also because it's obvious whenever I order any minor parts that they're annoyed I'm not spending megabucks. I often need odd parts here and there as things get broken, worn or damaged. Anyone know of UK suppliers of Triumph New Bonneville parts that you'd normally get via the local dealer?

I was doing some random internet searches for a new speedo drive and cable for my Tiger today and came up with Lings in Lowestoft, very helpful and free next day delivery, obviously I haven't got the part yet as I only ordered it this afternoon but I will post again as soon as I get the goods.

Its most unlikely you will get OEM parts from anyone other than a dealer so cheap parts are few and far between. I have used both Jack Lilley and On Your Triumph with good service from both. If you want second hand original parts then I use Triumphant Motorcycles ( http://www.triumph-ant.co.uk/index.html) and Sprint Manufacturing (http://www.triumphparts.gbr.cc/10442/info.php?p=1&pno=0)
Regards
Ray
