I was wondering if you guys wouldn't mind pointing me in the direction of a good online retailer for scooter parts? And when I say "good", I mean "super duper cheap but not going to stiff me on my purchase." The parts I'm looking to buy would include spark plug resistor caps like the NGK ones mentioned in the spark plug tips thread, AC CDI boxes, souped up if I can afford them, ignition coils, a main switch with keys, new plug ends, and voltage regulators. And I'm on a shoestring budget. Also would be cool if I could get some wiring supplies, like butt splices and a gaggle of zip ties.
I should point out that I'm trying to buy at least three of each item mentioned above, except the main switch, as I have my scooter, my little pit bike that need stuff and also my good friend and road side motorcycle mechanic just had a birthday, so, yeah. Gotta get one for the homie lol
Thanks in advance!

PartsforScooters.com
The prices may not be the lowest....but the part you get for the money will be a bargain.
If you're always hunting the LOWEST price, you are probably not going to have a very enjoyable scooter life.
You know the saying....."You get what you pay for". Usually it's true.

The NGK plug caps you can also get local at your auto part stores. PFS also has great customer service.

I have used both Partsforscooters and GY6 store and they are bothe good. If this is for your TGB you won't find much at either store. Scooterpartsco.com and scootertuning in Canada are good. TGB America can get you parts but the wait can be long.

TGB America can get you parts but the wait can be long. For more in depth questions about our parts an easy and quick way to get an answer is to use the online chat on our website. This is particularly handy if you can't find what you are looking for. We've got over 6000 SKUs in stock at any time, so there's a lot to sift through. M-F 9am-6pm EST someone is going to be on that chat, and we'll kick around your question in the office until we find an acceptable answer. We have a TGB in house as one of our daily rides too, so we have some insight there as well. Also, as always, any order placed before 3:30PM EST leaves our warehouse same day. Since our warehouse is our own, if you need measurements on a part or any information that we don't list on the site, just reach out to us and we'll be happy to find out for you. Often times when we have a customer ask us about a part, we'll update the part itself with the new information within minutes to help out anyone else looking as well. We'll never be the cheapest, trying to be the best has a cost. But since we have our own warehouse of parts, do all of our own importing and quality verification, control our own supply chain and provide a level of customer service and availability that is largely unmatched, we do feel that you get what you pay for. And our batteries are awesome for the money too if you haven't tried one. We have the best battery factory. I've put this out before, but I can be reached at matt@partsforscooters.com for pretty much anything. To all of you guys and gals that have been supporting us, thank you. There's no way we would be looking at our upcoming 15th anniversary without you. Send me an email with your info, I'll mail out some hats and stickers... I've got a few left looking for homes. Matt |

Matt, you guys do rock, I have called when I needed that one dimension that wasn't clear. I waited while the person when to the warehouse and brought the part back. I am frequently amazed by the delivery, I'm in NC and it is usually a 2 day delivery. I wish you had parts for some of the rarer scoots I have.

Something to keep in mind: Even if we don't have the parts now, if you drop us a line and let us know that you are looking for parts for something specific, if we find support for the bike, I'll most likely make an effort to import the parts. I know I would like to see more parts for Derbis and such, so the more information I have available to me the easier it is for me to justify the expenditure on the parts in question. Matt |

Best prices and quality I've found is Amazon, especially on oddball stuff, and if you do get a flakey seller, I've never had an issue with a return/refund through them.

Matt What are the chances of getting body panels for the Derbi Atlantis? I have a few that I need panels for. I might also modify the motor (Piaggio) on one as well. |

At the moment, very little unfortunately. I haven't found anyone doing re-pops on Derbi bodywork, I'll forward to my sourcing department to give them an idea of something to keep an eye out for however.
