To all of you Canadians out there, where can a guy get cool bike stuff like bullet lights, or braided stainless cables, or bars, or pipes, or bags, pegs, grips, mirrors, gas caps, windshields, fenders or otherwise up here North of the 49th? Is there a custom/accessory online shop out there I don't know about?

I found this place, which lucky for me is in Ottawa, but for the most part prices are better in the US, especially with the Canadian dollar being so strong. I also have the added benefit of living 45 min. from the US border so I can easily have things shipped to the UPS store and then go pick them up.

For a "nominal fee" you could have the stuff sent here and I'll make a run up the trail to Trail  jh

I've always found it cheaper to just get it from the U.S. even with exchange and duties. Here you seem to pay a premium with less of a selection and all for the same Chinese crap.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Keith, Have you ever tried Royal Distributing. They have quite a selection and several stores in Ontario. Reasonable prices. Their catalogue can be a bit of a pain to negotiate.

Thanks Greg... that catalogue IS hard to negotiate.
Oh and thanks Harry for the across the line link. You bet... that is an option.

Hey Keith, I came across the same question on a local board. They have a number of links listed so I'll just post the forum link.

Yea, I've been over a few times. Not much of a store though. The inside is about 20' by 50' with an assortment of mainly HD/Kuryakyn stuff. They seem to do most of their business on line.

Yea, I agree with the nice part. I picked up a set of mirrors and was about to get a set of saddle bags until I found a better deal on here.
