Hope all of this talk doesn't deter him from contributing again here. There are a million questions I want to ask him about restoration techniques, sourcing repro parts, rechroming etc. I started the dialogue with him via Facebook regarding the various quality wheel rims he sells and the reply from him was brilliant and really informative. There are lots of parts on Yamiya's site that you can't get elsewhere. He obviously has a tie in with them re: 750 exhausts and if he started to stock some of Yamiyas parts it would get round all of the hassle of delivery costs from Japan and the dreaded import charges. Not personally used the German sites for New/NOS stuff but some of the used parts people in Germany are just streets ahead of anything in the UK,. For instance if they sell a camshaft they give you the journal and lobe height dims and the price and quality are usually spot on too.
RE: the old Honda dealers who still have NOS stock, there is one here in Hull area who is selling a camchain guide blade NOS for more than Honda still sell it for new. They all think they are sitting on a goldmine, thanks mainly to Ebay. I think the days of them chucking them in a skip or selling them off cheap are long gone!
Just my 2p worth. ... Cheers... AshD
