Does any kind soul know of a reliable parts supplier in Japan who speaks English and will sell to us Kiwi's.-I am trying to source some parts for older Honda bikes and have really given up on the stealerships here.-Thanks

There are a number of usa dealers who ship international. Heaps cheaper if they have the parts. Just trying to remember who I used ...

I've used and can recommend this place:

Not sure on their usefulness for older stuff though.

rick oliver in the uk is another one....works for honda I believe or at least as significant dealings with them, and is known to have fabricated a number of NLA or custom parts for 400 grey imports :-)

Dont fuck about.

Old Honda parts online:

www.davidsilverspares.co.uk

www.cmsnl.com

www.econohonda.co.nz


That should get you started.

If it is old old (like SOHC fours) then www.sohc4.net.

What specifically are you looking for?

Thanks for replies guys,over the years I have dealt with every single one of the suppliers mentioned,mainly for bikes I am restoring.All are good,postage cost aside(but there is a way around this)-I specifically needed a Jap supplier,one that would go the extra mile if they didn't have the part,they would source it for you.There are a few grey import bikes coming into NZ and there is some pretty special stuff in Japan,parts of course are a problem for these with some of the suppliers listed advising they have never heard of the model.-All is not lost as George Formby has listed a Jap supplier-thanks Mark-which I will follow up on.
