Re: Dakine Build!
I've ordered from www.hondaparts-direct.com before and no problems. Get everything you need @ once to save a few buck on shipping

Lately I'm using a hacksaw quite a bit. See Flash IV in Scooter Builds.
Head over to Harbor Freight. They have gnarly-looking carbide rasps that take material away in a hurry. You can purchase a variety of stones in the 1/4" shank sizes if you spring for a Roto-Zip, which has an awful lot more power than humble Dremel. The Zip can also fit collets down to 1/8". There's a $10 set of 50 diamond-encrusted 1/8" shapes for fine work at HF too.

Re: Dakine Build!
Honda Parts Direct is closed and not accepting orders at this time. No idea if they intend to reopen in the future

I've had good luck with MrCycles.com. They have a good lookup system, although discontinued/unavailable part numbers often don't appear in the fiche. If there isn't a Honda-san near you, Deepinnaharta Honda always gets whatever I order in 2 days, and of course there's no shipping cost, even if they charge a little more for the part. Maybe they can be persuaded to arrange a drop-ship deal. I've found buying them pizza every few months is very effective.
