Indeed. After looking in the right places I was able to get the 300-page shop manual for my motorcycle. Everything is very well diagramed and OEM parts are readily available online for not much money.

In my limited experience, OEM is horrible, unless it is the only option.

This is funny because there is a brand called "OEM" at parts stores that sells chinese junk.

I am all about finding the original parts that the dealer will sell, but on the aftermarket at reasonable prices.

I meant to say: "horrible" from a value perspective. You can often get >= "OEM quality" parts from 3rd-party vendors at a much lower price than OEM.
