Title: Has anyone seen this site?

I guess this isn't new to some of you but I found it today and was impressed at the prices of the genuine Vx parts. I don't know if they mail the parts rather than you have to travel miles for them but it may work out cost effective if they do.

Have a look anyways.

interesting. Breakers have, (or used to have?) a similar sight or two. Send you request by email or text or phone a premium rate number, and they email all their participating yards , those that have your parts text or email you a price, you pic the cheapest or most appropriate and ring them to buy. Started off as a free service iirc. Then became a pay service. Not used it for a while, i have not stacked the bike for a couple of years now. ;D

Dealers prices being fixed....not sure how good an idea this site is? Andy c on here will mail order parts from his dealership parts dept. Last i heard anyway.

Rings a bell......i think. Good idea. Does need to be free for the customer. Trouble is breakers rake their fee back in the prices quoted, so not the cheapest way to do it IME.

Depends how desperate you are for parts i guess?
