David Silvers parts , are Honda still making the bits ?

I've wondered where Silvers parts come from when they say 'this part will be special ordered in for you' Usually it says 5 - 7 days, but sometimes it's 14, so must come from different places. When I was rebuilding my 500/4 in '89/'90, I got some parts from Silvers, but most came from Honda via the local dealer, even though the bike was 16 years old. The dealer told me all parts were still available & made in batches when an order came in. Don't know how true that was, or if it was, when it ended, but I got everything I ordered.

Many of the SD bits I've got from them don't look to be very old. I got a nla airbox rubber for the 125 from ebay recently in the old style packaging with a piece of paper inside with the part number on it. You could tell the rubber part was 30 years old. By contrast, the rubber parts I've had in the modern packaging with the part number label stuck on the outside look like they were made yesterday.

some of the Special order parts I`ve had from silvers came from cms, it said so on the invoices.

im sure i read somewhere honda were putting a 15 year limit on parts hope they dont

if it works why change

Look what I found today among my nos



First one I've come across made in India..
