looks like this ebay seller is selling Yamiya parts. no mention of Yamiya that i see in the ads for different parts. I know for fact a couple years ago, Yamiya was looking for a USA seller of their parts.

Steve,
I was just posting the same message, when I found your thread. Yes, interesting to see the same Yamiya parts being offered in the US with free shipping.
Best,
Duane

David Silver stocks their No No pipes and No.8 bolt sets and I think some body sets. I have asked him if he can stock seat covers /seats but the HONDA logo prevents him from doing this, which is a real shame.

I noticed the listings for his no number pipes and it the description made it seem like these pipes were in competition with Yamiya. Nice to know they are the same as the price is comparable to price directly from Yamiya but only if you wait for a sale. No waiting from this source.
A bargain on a complete red foam seat would be what I've been lurking for.

Quotes from David Silver on questions I asked on behalf of sohc.co.uk
“We do sell the Yamiya no number exhaust sets, cannot get supplied enough of them”
Hi Ash,
"HM341's : Every previous ETA has been exceeded because more and more problems keep presenting themselves. Chinese made moulds, Italian producers, thankfully not my project. I have been led to believe first prototype is almost ready for test fit then we are about 8 weeks away.”

I did ask David Silver recently if he was intending stocking Yamiya seats and covers (foams too) and he said that because they have the Honda logo on them, he is prohibited by Honda from selling them.
He joined the SOHC.co.uk forum, at my request in January this year but I think he backed off commenting, which is a real shame after my efforts to get him on board. He asked me to get sensible lists together of questions we needed answering and he would answer via me, which he has done for us on SOHC.co.uk and we can do here too, if anyone is interested. Any particular parts that Yamiya sell for us to ask him if it's possible to stock?
I will ask him again about foams and seats/covers. Perhaps he could get Yamiya to supply, less HONDA logo and then sell a stencil to print our own logo.
ChrisR told me that the original red foams were a multi block construction, with a harder foam where the 'ducktail' hump is. (Steve posted a photo of this 'original' foam recently). I have also seen comments that the shape of the Yamiya seat never quite looks the correct shape as the original. I wonder if anyone could produce a one piece red foam but with a harder part in the 'ducktail', in order to reproduce the original shape If anyone did manage this, would the Yamiya cover still fit OK?
If you look at Vic Worlds ebay feedback, you will see that at one time he was selling off quite a few new K1 covers and foams, so I guess, like me, he used a new K1 seat as a donor for the pan/trim and strap for his restos. he possibly uses complete Yamiya seats now

Whilst Yamiya stock many items they are not the manufacturers of them. Yep there is a bunch of stuff maybe unique to them but you can shop around and find other suppliers. The US supplier of the exhausts is carrying Kawasaki pipes as well as the Honda pipes. Yamiya doesn't carry Kawasaki parts so makes me think the link is not with Yamiya. You will see that Z1 Parts Inc are now selling a myriad of the Honda K0 stuff also carried by Yamiya. Try Webike and PMC as examples
PMC make a lot of CB and Z1 parts (biggest supplier of repop Z1 stuff on the planet) and Classic Bikes is another however I suggest these agents are doing PMC items among other suppliers

Complete Yamiya is the way to go so I'll be making that plunge when I can. I know some take the non red foam versions apart and use old red foam cut strategically to rebuild original 17 hole pans.
If the red foam complete seat goes on sale I'll pop on one and not bother tinkering with the original foam I've had shoved in a bucket for some years.

And now a company in the UK is stocking some Yamiya /PMC stuff. What's more he is based in North Yorkshire and not too far from me.
I have asked him to stock Yamiya/PMC Seats/covers/foams and he has agreed . David Silver refuses point blank to stock them because they have the HONDA logo on them and he is legally tied not to sell anything here with the HONDA logo on.
The link is : http://www.saisei-europe.com/Shop (http://www.saisei-europe.com/Shop)
The person running it is called David and I have pointed him to this site. He is just starting up and offering a discount this month on some items.

I bought some unstamped pipes from machmotors, he said he was in Wisconsin. The charge on my credit card said "chuck". The pipes came in a box with no external markings except a small tag that said cb750 unnumbered exhaust. The pipes were wrapped in plastic sleeves, and the box was filled with sprayed in foam. If anyone opens a box of pipes from Yamiya post a picture before you unpack and I can tell you if it was packed similar.

No Problem Steve ... You are the boss after all ;)
Can you pass on to ChrisR that there is now a UK stockist of Yamiya Stuff. I am sure he will be interested if he doesn't know about them already. I want to get a complete red sponge K0 seat from them plus a host of smaller parts like decal sets and bolt kits.
Cheers ...AshD

Thanks Ash, I have seen the UK site. The CB750 exhausts are of interest for sure, but the description is a little unclear - are they "No No." or not? (Does Yamiya make any stamped pipes in addition to the unstamped ones?). Must investigate further.
It would be good if the Yamiya seats were to be stocked too (or at least the foams and covers). That said, presently I cannot bring myself to use a complete Yamiya seat, the pan only being correct for the first few hundred sandcasts. Maybe just being too picky!
Cheers - Chris R.

Hi Chris,
The pipes are definitely Yamiya NoNo pipes as David has confirmed this. He is discounting them this month too.
He has given me prices on the complete Yamiya red foam seat. He says he can get a much cheaper one for PMC but it does not have red foam and I am not sure on the quality of the cover. I will PM the prices to you. I have asked him if we can get a further discount if I get several orders for the same parts list (seat, bolt kits, decals etc) but what he has quoted so far is far cheaper than direct import.
He says he will stock anything we want from the Yamiya/PMC stock list inc. seat covers and foams.
Are you going to Stafford BTW? If so, it would be a good opportunity to pass on the large US cleaner I have for you. Looks like you may have a choice of two as I have an 'Ultrawave' one now too, that's going spare.
I got some more of the Reofos rubber softening stuff last week, which worked great for me. I think it may not have been too good when you tried it out as the part needs immersion for quite a long time at 60-70 degC. Will post my findings but an inlet rubber is as soft and pliable today as it was when treated in 2010.
Cheers ..AshD

Hi ash can you pm me any prices he has quoted please

Hi ash can you pm me any prices he has quoted please

PM sent Pete
I had a telephone chat with David from Saisei-Europe earlier and he is ordering quite a few CB750K0 parts for me including a complete Yamiya seat etc.
I won't publish the prices he has quoted me but all I can say is that, combined with the general reduction recently from Yamiya, what was once getting on for a £1,000 seat .. Yes £1k .. a few years back is now a very reasonable price. If anyone wants to know the prices with a view to adding to his order then please PM me.
It's obviously a relatively new venture for David, selling CB750 parts / Honda parts but I can tell you after speaking with him that he sounds like one of the 'good guys'. He is trying to get as many orders from us to warrant a part container load for mid-October shipment, so if anyone else wants to order parts now then please go for it. The more he can order, then the cheaper the shipping will be to him. I think we should nurture people like him on here.
Cheers .. Ash
