Best places for bike parts?

Haven't had to look for bike parts in about 10 years so quite out of touch. Is Ebay the best place or do you look other places as well?

I'm looking for a hugger, seat tidy and replacement rider seat for a SV650 K1

If you are looking for standard parts yeah eBay is still king, but also check out Facebook groups for your bike model and also owners forums.
forums.sv650.org will be be best place to check.

Always owners Forums & Facebook pages first to see if I can Buy off an owner/x owner or if I'm after something New then I use the owner Forums to point in the right/best direction/supplier.

Breakers yards / ebay for second hand parts like that.
