I'd say cmsnl if your rich. I prefer the word dedicated to rich. CMSNL are far from cheap - but as a very last resort, I have used them - but only a handful of times. You are right I've also had stuff from them, I got my rear brake rod and lever from there. Some stuff is mad prices on there. |

Other European suppliers don't do this so why do they? It's a bit of a wee take, Dan. |

Many, many, many year's ago I had a CB750 F1 and later the F2, sadly no longer, but then Dave Silver was the go to place for Honda spares, I mean I'm talking pre eBay days, I don't think he has as much these days. You're right he doesn't. Dave used to have loads for our bikes and not just exotic imported models because he bought stock at the right time - in the mid eighties onwards when Honda dealers could not give their left over stocks away. Remember, before the licence laws change, motorcycle sales were high - it was a golden age of motorcycling.....the bubble burst and DS saw the opportunity. |

Remember, before the licence laws change, motorcycle sales were high - it was a golden age of motorcycling..... I remember. I past my test in '83 the year they introduced the 2 part test. Before motorcycles became a fashion accessory. Before matching lethers and pillion dollies. When a guy bought a bike because it was cheap transport and didn't need to spend £200 just to be allowed to ride on the road Sorry, rant over. |

Things have changed a lot , back in 1978 I was an Engineering Apprentice and just about everyone at the Training Centre had a bike which meant 25+ bikes all lined up outside , finding bike parking at college was difficult ! Only about 7 or 8 years later I remember driving past the Training Centre and there was only two or three mopeds parked outside and a motely selection of cars !
