Source for "Discontinued" OEM/NOS Parts -- Wire Harness, Control Switches??
« on: September 25, 2008, 12:58:55 PM »
I've scoured the internet using the Honda OEM parts finders for various US dealers. 

Is there an alternative source your can recommend for OEM NOS electrical parts, specifically Wire Harnesses and Control Switches?

The yamima site seems to only carry parts up to K5's.  Any good sources for K7's?
