Buying large amounts of parts from yamiya or impex
Matt_Harrington:
I've only ordered from Webike in Japan. I have yet to be clobbered for tax/import charges. Service has been excellent. Some parts, however, are cheaper in the UK....

Yeah, I've spent my lunch hour putting together a spread sheet comparing prices, most are cheaper on yamira but a few are cheaper or negligible on DSS.
Some stuff is half the price from yamira.

It will not be half the price once it gets here. Add on UPS postal costs per Kg, add VAT, add import duties and administration charges and it all adds up ;)
TrickyMicky:
Very valid point re. import taxes, postage etc. Honda UK will not supply you with any parts for a model that was not sold in the UK. The fact that DSS has an American warehouse and ships parts over here negates many of the problems. DSS have even managed to obtain a few parts for my GB250 which is a Japanese domestic model only.

Honda will order any part available in their european warehouse i have found, just takes longer
