Im not fussed about delivery time. I'd just rather not pay over the odds like some parts seem to be.

Walk in with a part number and ask if it can be ordered, if in uk 3 days if europe 3 weeks

I buy a lot of spares from my local dealer, HGB Motorcycles, Ruislip. If I order them before 4pm they arrive by midday the following day 👍
Good service Dave! Checked out their website, some nice bikes in stock too! 😜

Hmm...We bought two new Motos from Fowlers - never occurred to me that they might have parts for "vintage" Hondas!  Good Info!!!  :)

The Story

Many years ago Honda dealers had to buy parts from one of several "big" dealers, some of these were Fowlers, Tippets, Skellerns, Bill Smith, Bill Head plus more. If you ordered parts by number any dealer got 20% discount, Honda dealers more.
Now any dealer orders direct from Honda and get whatever discount Honda give
