Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Hello All,

Would love to know if there is a particular Bike shop, Online store etc that sells OEM parts for Kawasaki's (specifically 08 Zx-10r).

Recent prices have left a sour taste in mouth.

$83 for OEM rear pads Now i'm probably going to go for Metal gear Sintered Pads for the rear, cause i have heard good things about, i barely use my rear & $30 is hard to go past.

I would love to buy some other various bits for the bike but prices are just mental. I don't mind having to pay extra for OEM that's normal but is there a way to get the parts from the source.

http://www.kawasakipartshouse.com/ is cheap but shipping from USA is the issue.

Thanks for your time.

Try this guy wet4uracing.com.au

wet4u doesnt not OEM stuff.

But i believe www.mrcycles.com is your best bet.

Thanks Guys Last site has pretty decent prices still Pads are up there. But the Upper Middle centre nose piece i want is only $96 have to see how much shipping is.

Wattie have you dealt with mrcycles before ? Good to deal, delivery time etc?

Thanks again

Mstevo did the dealings with them. Pretty speedy if parts are in stock

I buy all my oem stuff from http://www.mototech.com.au .. I wouldnt say the prices are cheap, but they offer free fast delivery to anywhere in Aus, and the customer service is exceptional
I cant recommend them enough

Try these guys, my dad has used them a number of times and swears by them http://www.powersedge.net/

Of the two sites above, a ZRX headlight fairing is $875Aus at one and $334US at the other. The first is pretty regular Aus dealer price. Man we get ripped in this country!

We get absolutely screwed over by dealers who think aussies are just dumb fucks who won't complain about spare parts prices. It shits me to tears, and you also read all the sob-stories in the bike press from journos who implore us all to *support your local dealer*....

well the reality is that in 2011, my local dealer lives in the US, has parts prices that are 40-60% cheaper than here, and ships stuff to my door in less than a week.

If local dealers were competitive in the market - and its a global market now, not the old insulated market it used to be 20 years ago - then I would be the first one to beat a path to their door.

But while ever they continue to bullshit about prices etc - my $$$ are going overseas. BTW, that same aussie dollar - the one that is now worth US$1.08 - should mean that prices of spare parts in dealers should be cheaper - much cheaper - than they were a couple of years ago.

No evidence of that at any bike shop I use. The only things I buy these days from local bike shops are tyres & oil. That's it. And even that is looking decidely wobbly for tyres - a set of racetrack treaded Avons ( selling her for almost $700 a pair ) can be sourced and landed here for well under $500 !!

Tried to get a price for shipping to Aus from these guys and they emailed me back telling me they don't ship here????
