Just been researching sources of bits n bobs for the 550. Anyone used this outfit? http://www.partsnmore.com/parts/honda/cb550/?filters[model]=cb550f&filters[fitting]=custom
I haven't but I helped a guy do an online purchase from them a few years back, couldn't tell you the time frame but he got the bits he paid for
I haven't bought from them. Their prices are good, but their freight charges are ......................... I was trying to get a rotor puller from them for my GS1150. The puller was US$25, the freight was US$72. I bought a special nut locally and fabbed up a puller for under NZ$15.
I guess the idea is to get a few items at least up to the minimum weight at least. FedDeX isn't cheap but we find them very reliable having used them on a regular basis at work. Here's a link to the new current EMGO catalog pdfs -http://www.emgo.com/emgo_catalogs.html
The guy behind that has been around a good while. He got a fairly bad rep about 5 years ago when he had a bunch of personal and business problems, and basically lost the plot. Many people complaining that they ordered stuff, sent money etc, didn't get bits, got wrong bits etc etc. Compounded by (then) crappy antiquated systems. Before that, he was considered (by the classic Zuki people) , pretty good. Don't think anyone ever suggested he was crooked or anything, just lost the plot for a bit. Since he's still going, I'd guess he got his issues sorted out.
Ixion, are you talking about Ted? I thought he's now trading as Old Bike Barn. I never bought from Parts n More because of shipping charges. www.partshatk.com has similar prices and better shipping deals (in general) I think. And you can get all the parts also from z1enterprises.com and they keep the shipping charges to the minimum but they get their parts on back-order so that's another 1-2 weeks wait.
