That's a shame. He had great stuff at reasonable prices. The japan.webike.net site has a good selection of stuff but the prices with shipping seem pretty high to me.?

That website was last archived on 27th March 2023, it seems to have gone down sometime after that.

I've been in touch with Martin.? He said:

"I am still in business but with reduced working time especially during winter months. Actually the website is not working.

I am planning a smaller product range which is to offer mainly during main season spring and summer. After about 500 exhausts, 400 fenders and more than 100 alloy tanks it is time to be less busy."

He says it's a "part time retirement," and is going to try to have a new website.? Meanwhile, I think I'll download a version of his old one, just for reference...
