has anyone ordered parts from them or know of someone who is a supplier for them here in the states. im sure shipping is outragous but i would love to order some stuff from them for my next build. i know chp has some of the stuff but it seems like monkeybike has alot more of the really trick pieces. i know there are some guys with bikes sporting some of these parts so where did you get them

RAZZO · 02-18-2008, 01:55 PM

MonkeybikeUK is excellent to deal with. Fast shipping too. BUT EXPENSIVE!! No worries dealing with them. CHP inventory is limited. Will order parts but you will wait months for them.

autofull · 02-18-2008, 04:19 PM

i buy from them every month. they are great to deal with and have the goodies ya want. i just recieved a large order from them and i had it in nine days. remember , their prices are listed in pounds not dollars so it is about twice what it states. there are some other great suppliers there also. in my opinion we in the usa cannot build for the street without these guys. do not be afraid to buy from them. autofull.

mbuk may have the best website for browsing through general monkeybike parts but with the exchange rate you're really getting it in the rear end.

there are guys here on pm who can help get you parts straight from japan. pm me and i'll try and help point you in the right direction.

i also browse through g-t.co.jp

for all the cool monkey bike parts currently available.

Ok heres the run down...

Monkeybike UK is very expensive and shipping is expensive also. If you live in the USA the only place to get parts from over the pond is Motoshop Z.

I have price quoted monkeybike UK on a few parts to Motoshop Z. Not only was motoshop Z cheaper on the parts the shipping was free! Every part that motoshop Z sells includes shipping. When I email Motoshop Z I can usally get a email back that day. Z knows about almost every parts made or he can find out that day.

This also goes for faddybike, two brothers, and CHP. I have also price matched them to motoshop Z.

Im only putting in my 2cent because I have bought tons and tons of these parts and have experance will all of these companys.

I am in no way associated with Motoshop Z. So if you want to waste your money and spend more, wait longer for your parts go ahead.

chowpay · 02-18-2008, 05:41 PM

couldnt google Motoshop Z., whats the website?

tmas · 02-18-2008, 05:43 PM

Monkeybikeuk has extremely high shipping costs and you have to consider the added $$$ duty fees when the part crosses the border which is often overlooked before you buy it.

drizz · 02-18-2008, 05:57 PM

PM reynoldsbrad on here. Motoshop Z is pretty much the only logical way to get mini parts in the US... anything else is a waste of money and a pain in the ass...

Take the day off of work and try this on for size..

Sit down with a cup of coffee and give that website (that 'ness offered up^) a good looking through. This will take a LOT of time because there is so much crap available for the Honda minis that it's not even funny. Crap being grade A parts. You will want to write down part numbers and colors, etc etc.., just make a wish list and watch how quickly it grows! "Titanium axles...what?!"

When you think you have reached your budget, visit Welcome to Honda50.com » Welcome to Honda50.com. Send them an e-mail. You will have a response within 24 hours, and as these guys stated about the xchange and shipping, imho you will save a LOT of money over MBUK in the end. The staff is very knowledgeable and you will be able to ask the house minibike-guru any questions you may have about compatibility, availability, or even sensibility

before you commit to a purchase.
Of 3 or 4 e-mails to MBUK in the past, I got 1 returned for a shipping $quote$, and they did not even answer the very basic yet important ???s I needed to know. Never did make the purchase. Reminded me of an ol' shady eBay seller. Just my .02. I have always heard a lot of great things about them though..

Try Honda50 out. They are located within USA. Very knowledgeable people.

I have been waiting a long time for the boys to get their site going and believe me honda50.com is a masterpiece in progress. The guys who run it are perfectionist ,detail freaks, who believe "there is never enough options and we must find them all." I hear rumors that their latest "undercover" bike builds will have enough bling to make P Diddy blush.... With enough "one off parts" to make Billy Lane/Choppers Inc back out of a build off.

Ok in all seriousness ..
I can only speak from my experience and I can't say enough about
the selection and service from MotoshopZ. The prices and selection are way better than Monkeyshop UK( and many other foreign sites
I have found).
Z saved me $1500+ in parts I would have ordered that would have ended up not working.

Unfortunately they do not have the killer accent, or the sex appeal of Prince Charles....

PS
Do NOT even say the work "Chinese" if you talk to them, or they will Soup Nazi your ass and ban you for 6-8 months : )

slimbo · 02-18-2008, 07:32 PM

thanks for the info fellas

paunchy · 02-18-2008, 07:59 PM

+1 for MotoShopZ aka Honda50. Just send an email to sales AT motoshopz.com and they'll get a quote for you. I've used them for all the JDM parts on my ZB build. They were happy to point me to alternative parts, where applicable, on which they wouldn't make a dime. For me, that sortof honesty goes a long way.

Wurms · 02-19-2008, 05:39 AM

Just a thought..

To make your browsing for parts a much easier task, simply Google
g-t.co.jp and look for the 'translate this page' option next to the GT-Co link. Now you can kinda read things. Next, click on the MINI tab after the homepage appears. Now just look towards the left side of the screen and click on Monkey parts. The rest is pretty self explanatory. Just in case you spent the night sifting through thousands of question marks.

It's happened before.

1life2live · 02-19-2008, 08:09 AM

great info from everybody thanks alot for all the responses and i will definatly check out motoshop z. im all about saving some money so that i can spend the saved money on more parts.

chowpay · 02-19-2008, 10:29 AM
