I have ordered parts from " Sporty Parts " in California but a lot of it is the cheaper aftermarket stuff . E Bay could be pretty good for original parts ( a lot of times in the original packages ). I have not had to buy any internal engine , transmission or clutch parts. If I do I would do my research to buy the best. Not worth it to be cheap when it comes to that.

That parts place in sunny CA repackages V-Twin parts and marks up the prices. Computer search for AMERICAN LEGENDS MOTORCYCLES (Mid USA) and get the same parts for less money.

Texas,
Yea, I figured as much. Was looking for another parts source anyway. Looking into new brake lines and don't want to deal with after, after , aftermarket stuff anymore if I can avoid it.

I used to buy from Sporty Specialties. Not sure if they're around anymore or not.
