You are both missing the point! I can buy some parts in the UK, but I don't. There is absolutely NO NEED to buy your parts in Australia simply because you live in Australia, and unless you are on a crusade to protect the local Australian economy, I find you a little narrow minded. If anyone considers buying a 20 year old JDM bike (long unsupported by the manufacturer), then they would be mental not to expect to have to shop around, possibly abroad, for parts and spares.

You definatly cannot try to buy anything but chains, sprockets and brake pads from a Honda dealer here.

And to be honest, I wouldn't even buy those from a Honda dealer. The genuine brake pads are really good, but it makes much more sense to buy chains and sprockets (just about all I buy in UK) from third party companies.

It is a truly global marketplace these days. If it weren't, why do I do so much business with Australia from the UK?! If I bought a Monaro V8, would you expect me to buy parts in the UK? I could probably get brake pads and spark plugs by part number, but you would probably think I was a bit dim expecting the local Vauxhaul dealer to stock a pair of head gaskets or an oil pump for it! And that's a modern vehicle, not something 15~20 years old.

As for ****** recommending you don't buy something that will make their life a bit more challenging... surprise me why don't you!
