Now that is an interesting discussion point - How far have your parts traveled
For me its SME's Honda Key - Just up he road from LA"
Well 3 recent orders came from a parts shopping agent (impex) near Nagoya, Japan. Genuine made in Japan, Honda parts, Black (413) crank shells, Exhaust clamps, CB400NC brake parts= Seals, boots, pad clips and the little thrust clips for the caliper brackets (and then found two of those, just after ordering) etc.
A couple of years ago, I bought some gear from www.paddock.co.th (in the shop in Bangkok), most notably a couple of pairs of very comfy RS Taichi riding shoes. A pair for me and a pair for the Daughter (though she has not used them yet), in black / red of course! www.paddock.co.th/product/rss008-boa-wrap-air-riding-shoes-2/
japan.webike.net/ lots of nice aftermarket things, e.g. Stainless sprocket washer and circlip, and Hurricane clip-ons (it was crazy about Superhawks week and could not find any trace of that models standard clip-on bars)
Some standard Nos cables from Singapore via ebay, (they had a white ND front muddy from there that week, but I had not fully discovered and appreciated how much I liked the white colour scheme at that point in time)
Will try and think of more....
