Dan: One reliable mail-order outfit is Dennis Kirk, 955 South Field Ave., Rush City, Minnesota 55069 (1-800-328-9280). They carry anything from AM/FM radios to Yokohama batteries! I've ordered lots of stuff and received all of it real quick. And yes, they are a LOT cheaper than local dealers. But, I still like to buy things like plugs and oil at my favorite local shop so I have a connection for advice if I need it. (Please, no flames about not supporting local shops, risky mail-orders, etc., as net.rec.photo went through the subject a few weeks ago!) By the way, I am into trail riding (Yamaha IT490) and would like to see some stories from others who also enjoy a little backwoods thrashing.
