Just had a look at their website. They don't do Honda parts. Bugger! But they do lots of other makes. Including Sym. If only I had known that when I had my Maxsym 600.

Anyone had any experience with them? Are they any good?

I've always found easyparts good - sometimes better prices than Yamaha, and they do sell some aftermarket alternatives eg I got some aftermarket Tmax seat hydraulic jack things for around a quarter of Yamaha's prices (and they are still working) and replacement mirrors at a 1/3rd official prices. Only snag is that the joy that is Brexit makes things harder - you have to pay VAT and courier fees on anything expensive.

That's fine. I don't mind paying more as long as I can stay on the road rather than being laid up for 6 months waiting for parts. And if I pay less - bonus!

I have been thinking, and surely the importers can't be the only source of parts. Whatever the make. With the (I gather) the dire parts supply situation in this country there must be companies that have seen the gap in the market and moved in to exploit it. And if they charge more then fine - as I say it is better than being laid up for 6 months waiting for parts.
