Why buy from a wrecker when you can get it from a Kawasaki dealership?

I would contact partzilla before ordering to make sure they actually have the part.  I don't know how they operate, but some places will take your order, send out the stuff which you might not actually need but ordered to take advantage of shipping price, then tell you afterwards that something is NLA.  I have no idea how good their customer service is.

Partzilla’s customer service is excellent. They shorted me one fork drain gasket, a $4.50 part. Without question they said they would ship out a replacement. They are also working with me on a fork axle stud. I installed some for a set of fork I rebuilt for Wheelhop, and when Jim mounted the front wheel he noticed the stud was wrong. I had another set of stud on order and when the showed up I compared them to the OEM. They are dimensional different. Partzilla requested photos and are researching with KHI. The part was superseded and there is a question of if they put the wrong part in the right package, or if the stud was built wrong. I have never had an issue with Partzilla.

Agree, Partzilla is better than most.

Realize, that places like that don't stock all that many parts.  What they do, though, is order them for you from Kawasaki, and then repack and ship them quite efficiently.  

I've been really happy with Partzilla, the only problem I've ever had was when I ordered a brake cable, and threw in a couple of rear wheel adjuster bolts at the same time. They replied when the order was shipped - but they didn't have the brake cable in stock (despite saying that they did) so they just shipped the bolts and not the brake cable, which was the only thing I was really interested in. $6 for the bolts, $15 for shipping (to Australia), and not getting the part that I needed. But every other time they have been great.
