I bought the same parts including shipping from Babbitsonline for a lot less. The dealer I bought the bike from took off 10 percent. Babbits was cheaper by a lot and also less than BikeBandit including my AMA discount.
It's the shipping that can make a big difference. I always check both Babbit and BikeBandit to see what the total cost is including shipping. Sometimes one is cheaper, sometimes the other.

Thanks for the support. Made me feel a little better but sorry others have had the same experience.
Straightened the brake pedal hobbled down to the garage and rode it today so I wouldn't let the incident take me over. Hey, didn't even crash but been dang observant

I think most who ride have incidents that just leave ya' shaking your head, asking why?, realizing there may be an obvious reason, an oil slick, sand, whatever--sometimes, it's not so obvious...for me it was lack of attention for just the shortest of two seconds...and down! The two times that's happened I think I could have really gotten hurt...but didn't. I really believe that both incidents have kept me from having several other accidents because of what I learned from them.

Don't feel to bad, when I bought my CBR, I dropped it in a turn with only 2.4 miles on the odometer. Got to learn a lot of how that bike goes together (and comes apart) over the next few weeks -- rashed up the right side engine cover, mid-fairing, tank cover, front cowl, bar end weight, rear seat fairing, throttle linkage, and broke the footpeg and mirror. It was fine, though, because it kept me from doing something else spectacularly stupid later on because I had more respect for the power of the bike.
