I have no problem sending out where to get them, but as I own the dies, molds and film to the manufacturing of these items, these companies won't sell to anyone else. So why put you or anyone else through the hassle. Besides, they advertise world wide and anyone can contact them. In fact, other Honda 600 owners have asked for part numbers and where to find items (off the group) and I freely send all the part numbers I have and who I purchase them from. As does Miles or Mike O' Conner. For instance, the KYB Shock, has a softer ride than the wider VOW shock and is ready to install. Cost is normally at $42.95 each but they have been on sale for $32.00 - Part number is KYB-2 #343143. KYB is the largest shock and strut manufacturer and they stand by their product.
It only makes since to make it as easy as possible for Honda 600 owners to keep their Honda 600 running and looking as new as possible. Besides, as you know it costs money to bring a product on line. And, many manufacturers will not make just one. So, what to do with the rest? I make them available to other Honda 600 owners because otherwise they will sit on the shelf, grow old and do no one any good. Also, I like competition at the shows.
Back on track...
My reason for asking is that, if it is a reputable company making your shocks then it gives value to your product. If they are not and your hiding that fact then I can see why you don't want anyone to know who they are.
