I've been getting some new throttle handle extensions for my honecomb bravo. Some of the sets require taking the original throttles, and screwing in the handles into the originals. It's a bit of a pain to then switch one set to another so I was looking to just buy another set of replacement original honeycomb throttles. Their website indicates all of them are sold out. Does anyone have any info on this, when they may be back available again or another workaround?

 

Thanks

All I know is Honeycomb is not interested in aftersales. I have been trying to get hold of a few spare throttles since 2 years but they won't deliver in Europe and there is no regional seller that sells original parts.

Huh, that is crappy. Seems kind of short sighted as I can't be the only one thinking about extra throttle sets. I'll try to contact them and see if they have any options for North America, sorry it doesn't work for Europe.

I am from Canada and they would not ship to me here either, it is't that difficult to drop packages off at USPS. I managed to order a set of throttles and had them ship to a freight forwarding company in the US who ships worldwide.

MyUS waived the monthly fee when I decided to cancel my account. They have a UK mailing address as well so it is a win-win for me.

Thanks, I might try that. It is a shame we have to use these kind of services to purchase parts. As you say, it shouldn't be much more complex for them to send them internationally instead of just within the US. Or else arrange with the regional sellers, who already ship their products, to stock some of their spare parts. That would safe them a lot in shipping.
