NOS can simply mean someone's old stock from someone, but not always OEM

If you look at their page for the bearings, it shows a Honda slip with the words, "genuine Honda Parts NOS".rcmatt007 wrote:NOS can simply mean someone's old stock from someone, but not always OEM
I know they are shifty but would they fake that?

Re: saber cycle is selling con rod bearings?
odd that it would say in the box where you should see the part number "genuine Honda NOS". Honda does not lable their parts with "genuine Honda NOS", but with part numbers

Saber selling something "Odd" is not really that odd, eh?

Re: saber cycle is selling con rod bearings?
Some time back, Gene from SC got in touch with me wanting to buy some particular size GL1000 bearings. I didn't have the ones he wanted and he went off on the most ignorant, insulting rant accusing me of selling fake bearings as genuine Honda. Those who know me and my website will know the stupidity of that.
But...he also sent pictures of boxes of NOS bearings he had. I mean, BOXES of them! It was almost like he was deliberately trying to clear up all the shells he could to cause the severe shortage that we now have.
Yes, I know I must be mistaken. Someone with his enviable reputation for fairness and customer support would never do that, would they?

Re: saber cycle is selling con rod bearings?
I looked again and they have bearings A thru E with both 13 & 24 bearings.CYBORG wrote:Interesting. I'd like to talk to someone who bought some.
No idea what a 13 is vs a 24.
Is one top/bottom?
All are $30 each.
