Yahoo auctions: http://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/

If you use a translator you can find pretty much any category of moto parts.

Overseas buyers aren't allowed on yahoo, so you need to go through a deputy site who will buy the goods for you from yahoo and then send them on to you. Some pretty hefty fees are involved sometimes, but great for rare parts.

Try a google search for 'yahoo deputy site', just stay away from Okshon (dodgy).

Send am email to Drew (Moriwaki Man)

http://moriwaki-man.com/portal/index.php

He's a top fella and lives just down the road from me, since he's in Japan he can buy most parts (and help you find them) a stack cheaper than it'll cost you using a 'deputy' service.

Plus he'll make sure they work as described before sending them out (just last weekend we were compression testing RG400 engines!)

I've been interested in buying from Japan but I'm put off by the fees and the deputising of the deal.
It just seems so complicated, to buy a few bits and pieces...

I dropped Drew (Moriwaki Man) an email a short while ago asking about a Ti system for the NC30. He offers a straightforward service based on commission, knows his stuff, and his replies were all useful and friendly. Given the bother of dealing with language barrier and not knowing the Japanese dealers, wholesalers, and breakers, which he does, I'd go with him when it comes to buying time....

+1 for drew, knows his stuff, likes a chit chat and has some good contacts too. Well worth the fee you pay him, i mean how else are you going to get those rare parts? Its not so much of a bargin these days due to the strong yen but a system is still cheaper through him than what some people want for tat over here.
