I expect to buy my first motorcycle soon (probably a 1984 Honda Sabre), and I am looking into accesories (i.e. helmets, jackets, fairings, etc.). It seems as though prices for these items are MUCH greater at the dealers than they are through mail-order; for instance, a particular helmet is $250 at a dealer versus $185 through mail-order (and I wouldn't have to pay sales tax with mail-order). My question is- does anybody have any experience with these mail-order houses (e.g. the ones that you often see in motorcycle magazines)? Are they reputable? Assuming that one knows exactly what he wants to buy, is there any real reason not to buy mail-order? Any help would be appreciated! (Also, does anybody know anything about the Honda dealers in the Holmdel, NJ area, particularly about service departments??) Thanks much.
