I am refreshing my 1984 VF1000RE currently.

Honda's prices are RIDICULOUS!

Some of the parts that are available in RSA (meaning backorder) cost nearly 7 times as much as what I get them from the UK. And then backorder is 3 to 6 weeks.

I ordered some parts from the UK on Monday (27 May), dispatched on Wednesday and I received it this morning.

Although the shipping is quite expensive, I still paid a third of what I would have paid at Honda and received the parts in 5 days.

No wonder the motorcycle industry is suffering.

I must add that I support the local dealers w.r.t. all my other requirements, even if I can get it cheaper overseas.
