Buying large amounts of parts from yamiya or impex

<< < (3/5) > >>

I'm very new in the "vintage" Honda world.  Last year was my first experience buying parts for one (OTOH, I have LOTS of experience doing this with a Norton Commando over the last 18 years)!  FWIW, I bought my CB400 parts from three different suppliers in the UK.  DSS parts fit perfectly in all cases; the other two had around a 50% success rate "out of the box."  I realize I don't have the knowledge of the various suppliers that many folks here have but I was very pleased with DSS and the speed of delivery.  So, at the moment they are my "go to"!  I probably won't be buying a lot of parts in the future since my 400 is now pretty much "set" for (hopefully) years to come!

Oh, BTW, I was also EXTREMELY pleased with Nurse Julie's parts/immediate delivery!  :)

You can get 400 four parts through a Honda dealer?

What was the process like?

I think im going to try yamira for the bulk of the parts. My 90% complete list is £274 from yamira +£36 postage or £492 from DSS Im getting a few things from DSS anyway because the price is negligible. And yamira seem to have a lot more seals and o rings.

Bryanj:
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 👍
