I use my local Kawasaki dealership (Brighton Kawasaki) as Mike seems like a nice guy and makes me feel like I am being looked after.
I use Australian-based internet based parts centres as they are governed by Australian law, as opposed to companies based internationally, whose laws do not protect the consumer (us) as much.
I won't post who they are unless requested.

All good advice, cheers. Decided to stick with redbaron. Reason I was going to shop around is that living on the south coast I have to do everything via mail and phone etc. Don't suppose anybody has a standard set of rings for a zx9b engine laying around?

cheers

Cant help with rings but I live in the gong and work in Liverpool if you need help with anything being picked and brought back a bit closer to home feel free to PM me some details

That powers edge site is pretty dam good aye, I think I may order some parts and test them out. thanks for the link.
Gman: thanks very much for that offer, As you live so close when I get one of my bloody bikes on the road again I will have to buy you a pie and a coffee at the robo pie shop. cheers mate much appreciated.

No worries mate, I'd be keen for sure.

I was checking out that site for my some fairing bits for my zx9 looks awesome. Will have to work out the conversion to see if its cheaper than buying in oz.

Shame I didn't have a look when dollar was at 95 or so

If you buy a few bits and combine the postage, the cost of sourcing stuff from parts warehouses like this in the US is normally always better than the cost of sourcing parts in Oz. The markup here is just fucked.

But - you do have to get a bit of stuff in the one hit, in order to make it cost-effective. No good just buying a single gasket or 1 engine part.....

true - I just wish the Mastercard wasn't maxxed out ! 85US cents, bloody hell, so many parts, so little credit.....
