Best place to buy motor bits??
MR930 - December 22nd, 2016 at 07:36 PM

I'm about to start building a new motor and wondering where is the best place to buy parts.

Type 1 or Type 4?
Stock or Hi Po?
Budget or top of the line?

If you use a postage forwarding service then any of the vendors in USA should work out cheaper than local. Just saves on company mark up. CB, Scat are 2 that spring to mind but depends what level you are aiming for.There's some awesome heads available from JPM, I think it is, from Sweden. Better street heads than CB044s.

Really depends what size cc, power output and how the engine drives as to what works well together.

I would suggest buying from a local company such as Rod Penrose:

Click here to go to Rod's website

His has heaps of parts in stock that you can quickly order from his website and will also provide you with heaps of help should you need it.

Looks like CB performance then. Thanks

Ive used CB Performance and not only their prices are pretty good, but if you buy a lot, the end price will be cheaper than local retailers if you're possiibly worried about price :rolleyes:?

I'd prefer to get quality parts rather than cheap prices.

I would be purchasing here in AUSSIE from a shop that actually uses the Quality US Parts
as some are better quality US parts than other Quality US parts
there's a lot of crap out there

so what motor will you be building

Type 1 or Type 4?
