Default PowersportsPlus.com - ANY GOOD?

I need your help from your experience.
I need to buy some parts - delivered to Australia. (Cam chain tensioner "kit" of parts PLUS Cush rubber set - see attached parts list)
PowersportsPlus.com seems to be the cheapest (and they ship internationally + they have PayPal).
PowersportsPlus.com - OEM Powersports Parts from Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha at discounts up to 80% off MSRP

Has anyone had bad (or other ) experience with them?

Any better suggestions?

Prefer US or UK supplier.

I have used them and been very happy. I ordered a gasket kit for my carbs that was missing some o rings. They sent out another complete kit no questions asked. I used to use cheapcycleparts but powersportsplus beats their price and has 10 times the customer service.

My main source of late and usually 12 to 18 % cheaper

BUT

they take their time shipping stuff out - so if in a hurry pay more get quicker
elsewhere

Get in while the Ossie Peso is still strong Naga!

So, have you heard something regarding a cetain CCT mod that I haven't or are you just 'in anticipation' ?

If the former, should we be ordering a couple of 'kits'

Cheers, SB

Just checked back Naga, I used Powersports plus for the alternator damper and found them cheap and (relatively) efficient for getting the part from the US to my front door in about 7-8 days after ordering.

I'll give you a call today.

Cheers, SB

Thanks all for your reply's thus far. All further responses welcomed.

Hi Sprock - thanks your experience re shipping /delivery. I became a little concerned when I asked (emailed) if they had parts "in stock" and the reply was that they could "order in" - no mention of wait time.

Obviously I don't want to get into situation of only getting a part order fulfilled - and then also being charged for second international delivery for additional delayed parts.

Thanks to all....

Looks like a good site guys. I'm so over being ripped off here. I've just ordered some dyna beads and if they work out I'm going to start doing my own tyres. I can buy a pair of PR2's for $405 delivered to my door. Sure buying the tools to set up will be a cost ( I'll need a bead breaker of some description and some levers ) but will pay for itself over time. A rear tyre alone at my local stealer is $330 fitted. A front would be over $200. Time for more DIY stuff instead of just taking it to the shop.

Bordo - FYI attached my last tyre purchase (No good for honda OEM parts)- might be of interest to you .... from http://www.motosport.com/
