Hi,
I just came across this site and wanted to share it with you all. It is out of Japan and they have 308 different things for the SWing. I am looking to buy a center stand for my CTX700 and found this site. Just thought I would share it for those of you that don't know about it. |

My hubby bought several accessories for our honda PCX150 thru this site. They do have alot of parts. |

| SC,
I never heard of this site until just now. They have a lot of stuff there and the lights they have for the SWing look pretty cool too. |

| There's a load of stuff on there I could get easier in the UK and Europe like Givi, Fehling, Isotta, MRA, and Secdem. I used to think both the Isotta screen and hanguards were only available in Japan but an online site in Austria sells them. |

| Thanks for taking the time and effort to post this. To the rest of you, why so negative? Too big... too expensive... available elsewhere. Too bad. Look on the bright side. They sell stuff for the Silverwing. Be happy. |

| There's nothing negative about buying stuff nearer from home that you won't pay a fortune in postal or courier charges, VAT, and Import Duty on. Negative is resentment because Honda USA has never stocked the lower leg wind deflectors for the Silver Wing. They've been available in the UK or Europe for years but for some it's too much effort or they're too expensive or whatever to buy from there. Europe is the place to source 'stuff' for the Silver Wing, especially Germany and Italy. That moto-detail tunnel bag I gave you details of and you bought came from Europe ( Get Geared in the UK via Louis in Germany wasn't it?). You might not have been so happy paying another 30% on the price and waiting weeks had it came from the USA or Japan, and I bet you've never used that bag since buying it! |

| I am going riding today--OH,WV,VA,KY but will look at later. I lived/rode in Japan 20 years. Lots of nice bike stuff available there-----Think Honda does not bring "good Stuff" to US as big scooters are a dead market in US with not much action. See lots of left over scooters in dealer show rooms.
Tried to buy some OEM heated grips the other day. No longer available here, unless you find set dealer someplace is stuck with for example.
I had a set of "lowers" on my first SilverWing and added Baker AirWings---calm air and no pants flapping. the Airwings had Mickey Mouse method of mounting!! |

Maybe not, but if someone takes the trouble, and with all good intentions, to post information that may help some members, let's at least have the courtesy to say thanks, or politely suggest a better source if known. |

| Thanks, Colin.
I guess here in the states we aren't used to so many options. I forget that the European market has so many different choices. I remember I once had to buy a Malossi variator, for my Majesty, from England since the U.S. didn't carry them. |

| Since I'm not going to buy any stuff there and I remember that site from a few years ago while I was waiting to take delivery of my Silver Wing, it's just another online parts site to me.
You're the only one that's fussing about negativity and courtesy and such. It's just another website to browse and you're acting like it's a big deal.

| It's a shame that the "Steering Handle Cover" http://japan.webike.net/products/2094155.html is only available for the GT model SW.
There used to be a similar cover available from Honda that would replace the handle bar cowling on our model(s) but it was only available in Asia and maybe Europe and has been discontinued. I don't even think that our Mr Spevack was able to get his hands on one.
Anyway, I'd sure like to find one at a reasonably price.

| Tim, I never thought about it. Didn't know it was important. I thought the only reason for replacing that was if you were getting a different set of handlebars in a different shape. But if that's what you want, here ya go http://japan.webike.net/products/20128909.html Here is another interesting item: http://japan.webike.net/products/21348101.html Dual sided carbon fiber muffler system Anyone know what a plasma booster is? Didn't they connect to the EPS conduits on the Enterprise? http://japan.webike.net/products/20450437.html If you want chrome parts for your wing you should definitely check out this site. Dan |

| Why not, this a forum and I'm making my comments about an accessories site in Japan that sells a lot of European stuff for the Silver Wing and I said the same stuff can be purchased a lot nearer to home and for less money.

| I just got word from the NSA that Meldrew just bought every part on the website I gave. Edward Snowden just revealed this minutes ago. |

Well there goes another ¥2800: Even though it may be the wrong handlebar cover for our FSC600s (key way opening) and it's some type of tacky plastic-chrome I ordered one anyway. I can probably modify this to fit correctly and paint it to match the rest of the instrument surround. If that proves impractical then it will occupy a prominent place on my Impulsive Buy Wall of Shame. Tim |

| Enough of that fussing over where to buy, we all love Swings and appreciate any new site on the earth where we can find cool stuff for our Scoots.
Now here is my 2 cents. We order additional lighting kits for Givi from www.admorelighting.com If you have a Givi top box you just might like some of the extra features that these lighting kits offer.
Now, with that being said, lets get back to helping one another and quit the bickering.

| I've taken the unilateral decision to lock this thread for 24 hours to allow it to cool down. I have posted elsewhere that I will place a ban on anyone who persists in sniping or bitching. Add stirring to that list.
Power crazy? You bet! |
