Anyone used this Japanese supplier?

A reliable vendor. Prices are in US dollars. Email for shipping cost they reply quickly in English. I and others here have bought from them. I would use them again.
Me too!

I got pistons from them. Well pleased
many times.
Yes. Me too. Piston rings, carburetor parts, and other stuff I can’t remember. Last I used them, they shipped FedEx and right now.
Thanks for the link, I'll give them a run
What was the total price landed Steve? Are they good quality?

Great quality and pretty quick delivery.

Hi Tony. I can't find the receipt. But my wife always keeps a spreadsheet for every bike build
.
In October 2023 I paid £149.13 for two pistons. We're just not sure if I paid any import duty.
I do recall they were a very good price compared to other suppliers.
You are probably well aware that there are two different engines, the 553 and the 447. Plus the earlier XS1 & 2. You need to get the correct pistons I seem to recall.

They claim to be Japanese based. Maybe some parts are manufactured in Taiwan
From their about us page - "Cruzinimage is an Japanese based International online shop for vintage and modern motorcycle parts and accessories."
Where their stuff is actually made, I don't know. Multiple places I'd expect.

Last purchase I made came from Japan via FedEx.
My apologies. I just checked my email and indeed they are based out of Japan, but some of their parts are manufactured in Taiwan. I had long time ago bought parts for my RD350 from them and some were made in Taiwan. The owner is Mitsuo, cool guy and very fast to respond. It’s a legit company.
Thanks Steve, I'd imagine that price was including carriage and customs.Hi Tony. I can't find the receipt. But my wife always keeps a spreadsheet for every bike build

I'd say it looks good for you. Decent reputation, it seems. FWIW, I haven't been charged UK customs or VAT recently on anything where the total bill including shipping is <£130.Thanks Steve, I'd imagine that price was including carriage and customs.

It all seems a bit random.
I regularly purchased parts from Heiden during my rebuild usually around £200 each time. I had to pay duty once. No idea why.

My experience too. However, I haven't ever paid duty or VAT if I keep the total order value under 130 quid. Only recent time I got stung was on a set of forks from Italy. But they were nearly £300.
