The orders on the 400 4 will slow down now mine is finished loads of them would have been mine and never got a penny discount
Try and use other companies now where I can don't deserve any loyalty.
Moan over.

Slightly surprised to see the 350F in (an albeit distant) 4th place.

Maggot is unloved.

[SteveD CB500K0]

Probably because there are 5 variants of 500/4 to chose from but only one 350/4

I bet their computer-generated top 10 didn't take account of the variants.

CB350
CB400
CB500
CB550
CB650
CB750

would have been interesting.

[Johnwebley]

it says its web based orders,I would expect the computer when issuing invoices could also analyse all sales,

I prefer to search parts,and order by phone,

so add a few more sales to CB500-4

[Trigger]

You can not go by those figures. It doesn't take in to account trade orders or phone orders. I have spent a few grand this month and i know of another trader that spent 47k last month.

Wish they would sell more Yamiya stuff or the Yamiya suppliers . I keep badgering him.
Anyone know someone who speaks Japanese so I can contact directly with a translated email  to see if they would sell him parts less the logo (seats etc).
I take his point about Honda's  litigation against him and fear of falling foul of them a second time. It's one rule for the other suppliers and another for him, which is unfair really.

What discount does he give trade account customers? I know I bought over £2k's worth in one order in 2009 and asked if there was a discount but got nothing off.

Ashley Derrick:-  Surprised the CB750K0/K1 doesn't show up.

David Silver Spares Hi Ashley, bear in mind its volume of machines that count as well as popularity. Possibly 10 fold more K2's sold than K0/1's as the early models were quickly superseded, especially in Europe.

Does not really matter how many were sold. I would be looking a how many left.

Hi Ash, what about andy750 on the us site he spends a bit of time in japan and has visited the yamiya shop, have you asked him if he can speak or write japanese ? cheers Mick 

[SteveD CB500K0]

I asked this question of Glenn a couple of months ago. I asked if there were any Japanese "insiders" who could help
Is negotiate with Yamiya.
I'll look up the answer when I get home on Sunday.

Ash, these stats are very unreliable because i will just blab a load of part numbers down the phone. They have never asked me for what model. And if the 500K1 is number 3, why is he not doing HM323 exhausts? CMS have done the patten ones for a few years now.
I had to do a deal with the devil to get my hands on a original set

[Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP)]

DSS is not the only Honda parts god around there are others.He used to be very competitive but starting to get expensive.I would love to use him all the time but I suppose with all things you have to shop around for everything these days.
Cheers

Have sent a small order to DSS this week, and a larger one to www.cmsnl.com for a CD 175 restoration. The problem I had this week with DSS was that once I made  an online order, they informed me the next day that some parts are not available?, this never happens with cmsnl.com possibly a better stock control system and more parts?

It was these people I was going to contact Steve not Yamiya as I believe they supply Yamiya with lots of parts
