Has anyone ever used http://www.findapart.com.au ?

The website seems to make it easier with the dealers contacting you should they have your part in stock.

I can’t find a coil for my ZXR250 at any dealer or wrecker place within Melbourne. To order a new one will take 3 weeks to get it in and I really cant wait that long, well I probably can but I'm not a patient person :)

If it's from a Jap roadbike Vic Bike wreckers will have it for sure... and yes used the site myself once too, even got a response from a Kwiwi bike wrecker, cheaper than Vic Bike wreckers too...

sometimes it's good and you get a heap of replies, other times you get f/all responses. bit of a luck of the draw on what your after and how responsive they are really.
