Subject: Honda Main dealer prices.
Hi All,
Seem to be having some trouble with this list at the moment, but
hopefully this mail will make the trip.
I have been making some enquiries recently with local Honda dealers for
an Exhaust for my RD04 as there are 2 little holes that have appeared,
its a 1991 bike and its now covered 41000mls and is still the original
so it's not done too badly lasting that long :)
Anyway, Honda dealers are asking
Exhaust silencer only=£364(1073Dm)
rear disc=£188 (approx 555Dm)
which is an awful lot of money, even if the parts do last for ages, I
did not want to get pattern parts as sometimes you are lucky if they
last a year, so I made some enquiries with a few independent Honda parts
dealers, having first checked with Honda UK that they had not had any
problems with these guy and indeed they were selling genuine Honda
parts, my findings were pleasantly suprising to say the least.

Exhaust silencer=£230 (678Dm)
Rear disc= £141 (416Dm)
Lings Honda parts
Exhaust silencer= £307 (908Dm)
Rear disc £188 (554Dm)
Fowlers
Exhaust silencer= £308 (908Dm)
rear disc= £188 (554Dm)
As you can see, quite a difference from main dealer prices, the only
trouble seems that delivery can take 2 to 3 weeks, where as from Honda
main dealers its normally next day, but for such savings it's not a big
problem,
So SHOP AROUND guys, we don't need to pay through the nose all the time,
if any one knows any better prices, let us all know...
the addresses of the above are as follows.

Obviously if ordering anything by mail order its always best to use a
credit card in case you have any problems, although as I said I did
check these guys out at Honda UK and they said they knew them and had
not had any problems with them or complaints, so it seems genuine.
Hope this helps, and if you know of any better dealers then let us all
know.
