Well, you are lucky, Jake.  I RELY on the list vendors in my neck of the
woods.  Air-cooled parts are available here, tho. I second that NAPA is the
best in a pinch and usually available in warehouse same day or next at
latest.
I also agree with Ken regarding planning your maintenance ahead.  Shipping
can be a big chunk of your purchase if you need it quick.  I also feel a
responsibility(misplaced? I'm not sure) to patronize the list vendors since
the lines of communication are already open and I feel that they really know
our vehicles and are not likely to steer you wrong.  Again, maybe I am naive
in this respect.
