PSA - OEM parts on Webike Japan are much cheaper than US distributors

I don't know if it's true for all Z's, but I just ordered a bunch of OEM parts from Webike Japan, including piston rings and carb parts, and they were about half or less than half as expensive as US distributors. Case in point, OEM piston rings at $31.76 per set versus $66.81 list price here. Even with shipping costs this can mean major savings.  Wish I'd discovered this earlier!!!

That is the same for me in the UK when ordering parts from the US .
The Vendor/importers here tend to double the dollar price in GBP and then add another 20% on top.
I can pay around half the UK price when buying from the states and most times it comes straight to my door without any VAT or customs charges..

Yep, I've ordered many OEM parts from Webike. One thing I've noticed is that their system doesn't recognize superseded parts. So you will have to research what the part number for the replacement part is, and for that I find CMSNL very helpful. 

Yup, but sometimes with small parts, the shipping can erase any savings. Also, your card company will likely charge you for currency conversion. Usually not much,but worth considering.
Still , they have great prices and I have always gotten great service from them.

And great delivery time!  A few years ago I ordered a set of exhaust pipes on a Monday and they arrived on Thursday!  

I've spent hundreds of dollars on webike and every single time it has exceeded my expectations.

YA! It sucks that they even exist, innit?
