Is anyone else struggling to get Honda parts at the moment? My bike is in the shop for a full suspension and brake overhaul, new seals, fluids, etc. It's been there 4 weeks and they are still waiting for parts from Honda who can't give them a date yet. I would have thought brake seals and such like would be a pretty well stocked part.

Find your bike on the Fowlers parts website:

https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/browser/manufacture...

Once you find your bike, click on the diagram for the bit of the bike you need parts for, and scroll down through the lists of individual parts. Parts are shown as being in stock, not in stock, or no longer available - that will give you a bit of a feel for whether your garage is taking the mick, or really are just stuck waiting.

That said, when I rebuilt the calipers on my Tiger, I went aftermarket and have no regrets at all. Look on ebay for a seller called Powerhouse Automotive Ltd who do good quality rebuild kits for loads of bikes.

Perfect, thank you. The Fowlers website has them in stock, and so does the Powerhouse Automotive website. Will pop in and see the garage in the morning, if they're still waiting we can have a chat. Otherwise the bike will be ready in October, just in time for the weather to go cold!
