It's all in Japan,? but it does work and they are fast if they have the parts. They probably get orders from all over the world. Hell, I've ordered W650 parts from Germany and the UK,? also China. Got them all.

Is there only the Japanese site for Webike or is there a site for the US? Googling gets me this:?
If that's the one, from Japan, the shipping seems to outweigh any parts cost savings, E.g., a part I recently bought, an oil seal for the kick starter?92049-1406?is $2.20 plus $16.17., unless, of course, it's reasonable for a large shipment.
I've been ordering parts from Partzilla.com. On their site the same oil seal is?$4.81 plus $9.95 shipping. They also offer free shipping for orders of $149 or more.

I used to go with ronayers.com when I lived in the east but now that I'm on the West Coast, Partzilla's California shipping location gets parts to me a few days quicker than Ron Ayers, which is in North Carolina.
One thing I like about ronayers.com and partzilla.com is that they have the standard Kawasaki fiche pages, which come in handy when you're putting something back together. The manual shows the same exploded view but with no part numbers.
I've recall having pretty good luck with Chapparal and Dennis Kirk for aftermarket and non-OEM stuff.
