Partzilla

#1 PostAuthor: redzee » Sun Mar 10, 2024 12:52 pm

As per subject line, does anyone have information regarding using Partzilla? Where are they based, are they reliable, do they have sensible shipping charges etc?
Thanks for any feedback given.

Patella are in the USA. https://www.partzilla.com/help/contact

I have never used them as I expect you’ll get stung for import duty and handling charges.

If I need any OEM parts I try Cradley Heath kawasaki first or CsMNL in the Netherlands. Parts purchased from CSMNL seem to sail through customs. https://www.cmsnl.com/kawasaki-motorcycle_model11372/

My experience of Partzilla is that their site often says they have stock of an item which you can add to basket but when you contact them, the parts are out of stock.

I don’t even try them anymore.

Thanks Guys,

They were the only place showing stock of what I wanted, so probably bollocks given your experiences.

No longer available at other places. Oh well, I'll track them down eventually.

Thanks for replying.

If Cradley Heath can get it invariably so can Z Power. With club discount.

I'm after 4 x front brake caliper to fork leg mounting bolts (flanged head) M10 x 41, part number 92001-1355, and 1 x brake piston, part number 43020-1096.
I want all as OEM parts, bolts can be used but good as I'll re-plate them. Top quality stainless piston considered.
Cheers

Just took a look on zed-parts website.
Great lead, must admit I've never heard of them before. I'll give them a try.
Cheers. Lads.
