Where to Buy

Not a huge surprise that our friends at RevZilla top our list of the best places to buy motorcycle exhausts (both full system and slip ons). Great service and a full selection make RevZilla our top pick for this category. While Amazon has a decent selection of motorcycle exhausts, we found they are better for replacement parts associated with exhausts vs full system purchases (although knowing Amazon we are sure their selection will grow over time.

Your Comments and Feedback

From “D.L.” (August 2011):  “Needed some black, stainless, cap head, metric bolts. Like finding hen’s teeth. After calling half a dozen companies, one of the suppliers recommended McMaster-Carr. These guys have everything. I did need to buy more than I needed, but the cost was inconsequential.

This was the first time I’ve called and I don’t have a business account. The minimum order was 25 pieces, but was only $8. Still a bargain for a very hard to find item. I should also say that these are to replace the bolts on a new MadStad wind screen that I just bought for a new F650GS. This thing is absolutely awesome. You really need to review it.”
