CMS sometimes have some rare discontinued parts at very reasonable prices Gee. Often goes quick though. Spent a fair bit with them over the last few years.

I actually think they are nasty looking little beggars - never fitted one to my ring as I worry about one of them chipping the satin off my handlebar clamp......leading to having to go to CMSNL for a replacement at around 100 nicker plus the dreaded. They send them for a reason you see. |

I did use one of these as a key fob, but not on a bike for the same reason- too much damage flailing about in the breeze. I think it fell apart after a short while anyway.
I find DS and CMSNL prices broadly similar, but CMS do seem to have newer and better condition NOS, rather than crusty old stuff bought up from old dealers.....

DS are doing a really annoying thing right now.....Have you noticed it?
I've taken it up with them as well.......but the old Suffolk country bumpkin I spoke to about it (I won't name him as that would be unfair) just said it's 'the way it is...........nay gimmee your card details'.

I usually order online from DS, but as the list of spares for our bikes is woefully short you have of course to check CMS for the part number first anyway. Last time I spoke to an actual person was regarding the 400/4's they are doing up- basically got the brush-off as I was not a celebrity I suppose.....

I don't normally have a problem with Silvers - they have helped me a bit over the past 25 years. This latest thing is just annoying though. When you enter a part number on their website you typically get this kind of thing at the minute:
This O.E. part will be special ordered in for you.
Delivery time will be approx 2 weeks.
This part is an Original Equipment, unbranded part.
Please email us if you'd like us to try to get an ETA for you before you order.
So, instead of checking that the part is definitely available, they take the money of your card and then typically will come back to you in about a day or two's time to advise they cannot actually get the part. This has happened to me twice now, on one occasion I missed the part on ebay because I trusted they could get it.
I was given some drivel about 'it's how the dealers we deal with abroad work I'm afraid at that's how it is'........which to me, is no help at all. 
If you haven't got it and cant get it, don't get our hopes up!!!!!! |
