Looking for some advice from other people in the UK here - any recommendations on the best (and cheapest) place to buy official Honda OEM parts online?
Thanks.

Tough one. The UK doesn't do "discount" the way the US does! For older bikes, David Silver Spares is often good on pricing (better than retail, I mean), but Honda UK slammed them a few years ago for parallel importing Honda parts from outside the EU, so they officially no longer supply parts for newer (w/in last ten years) bikes. However, many of the parts on your bike carry part numbers from the old RC46 VTEC model, so those parts might be available through DSS.
I've never used Mick's Bike Parts, but you could try them if you know the part numbers. You can get part numbers from www.bike-parts.fr. Try Fowlers and Lings, too. Let us know how you get on.
Ciao,
Wemoto has a few oem parts but looks like they mainly stock aftermarket for the Vtec.
As JZH said, the older VTEC has many common engine parts with the new Viff. RC79 is a little new yet, I guess. :)
I bought some stuff for my previous bike from this place. It was a Suzuki, but they also supply parts for Honda:

In addition to bike-parts.fr, you can also try CMS in NL and ZSF and KFM in Germany, but they're not going to be much cheaper once you factor in conversion to Euro and shipping to the UK. Sometimes the first two can get parts other dealers cannot. I've used all of them in the past, for various rare bits and bobs.
Ciao,
Thanks for the replies, guys.
After a bit of research, I think the best option is to buy from the US, 'cos even with shipping costs, I'm still looking at a cost saving of 50% vs UK or EU prices.
So, new question now: anyone with experience of good US Honda parts suppliers willing to share some website details with me?
The only problem I can think of with importing from outside the EU is customs related sh1t, namely, completely unknown taxation amounts...
What is it that your wanting to import?
Bear in mind you will have shipping and import duties to pay as well.
Is that the ABS or NON ABS
Non ABS
