The springs I bet you can only get from Honda, or BikeBandit.com

The rest you may be able to get from someone like JCWhitney or Denniskirk

I just ordered a whole bunch of stuff for my bike and here's what I found so far

Local Honda Dealer: Had nearly everything and was the cheapest and fastest overall
oldbikebarn.com: SLOW, but did pull through, some stuff overpriced
bikebandit.com: Bought MAC exhaust.. fairly quick but their Honda parts are way more than my dealer now (Shipped to Canada)

Have you checked out the FAQ page dd, helped me find some sites...

You might be able to find one place to get most everything, but it probably wouldn't be in your best interest, at least from a financial standpoint.  Sure, you can save on shipping if you get everything at once from one seller, but on some parts, the price you can get from certain places may outweigh the money you save on shipping. 

I usually start with Z1, not only because Jeff is an sohc4 member, but because they have a good selection, good prices, and the fastest shipping you could hope for.  From there I move on to DSS, then CRC-2 and Dennis Kirk, and I always get the chain from Loudfastugly.

A major-league DITTO to Jeff and Z1Enterprises.
Best prices, AND customer service is second to NONE!
Even if the parts you are looking for are not on their site, give them a call or email and they will get what you need.
God knows he's got a lot of my money the last several years! :D ;D ;D ;D

I found Z1 and bike bandit to be very good.
