I also disagree on the part quality issue.
As far as bugging the parts guy, there are so many sites online that have detailed schematics for most bikes that it's more convenient to look it up for myself and order by part #.
I think that most bike dealers have such a healthy markup that it's fairly easy for the online guys to come in a tad lower.
As for saving 1055 bucks, that's huge. And a simple decision for sure.
The local dealer will still be the shopping/service place for a high percentage of buyers from what I have seen.
Heck, I bet a lot of riders get their oil changed at the dealer.
