I placed on-line parts orders with two different vendors within the last two weeks - both were great transactions.
I placed an order for gaskets with Service Honda on Jan 29th and received them today (2/7) Note that they had to order the gaskets from Honda. Their prices were discounted from Honda list and the gaskets were well packed. Shipments via Fed-Ex Ground
Their Genuine Honda Parts finder is a great tool for folks like us.
http://www.servicehonda.com/I also placed an order for piston rings with a dealer in Butler PA - Zanotti Motors (Honda - Harley & Yamaha)
http://www.zanottimotor.com/I ordered the piston rings on 1/30 and had the on 2/3. Zanotti has an interactive pricing page - enter the Honda number and you will get a price quote. Sometimes they are less that Service Honda, sometimes not. Shipments via UPS.
What a world we live in - on-line parts catalog, on-line ordering - you only have to leave your house to get the mail and ride your old Honda!
