I, on the other hand, have not seen this type of customer service response.

This notice has been on his homepage for a couple of weeks :

04-Aug 2014

We are pleased to inform you that we are out of the office from August 13th to the 17th.
(Japanese national holidays).
*Most of manufactures are also summer vacation during the period.
Emails are most welcome always. We will get back to you as soon as we back to work!
Thank you very much for your understanding.

Takashi

Thanks for the information, I guess a day waiting or two won't kill me

I see a number of posts related to speedy customer service and quick shipping.
I, on the other hand, have not seen this type of customer service response. 3 days ago I emailed a request for a quote for a seat for my 2014 CB1100. I received the usual auto reply saying I should get a reply with 24 hours. No response. The next day I sent another email and got the auto reply saying I should get a response with in 24 hours. Still no reply.
I will send one more email before I decide to stick with the stock seat and look for another supplier.

I think that his office is closed for vacation, I did see that some where. He gives EXCELLENT service.
Thanks for the information, I had not seen the vacation posting by Takashi - He has since replied and told me he will assist when he returns on the 18th

As I've said before, I've been riding and buying motorcycles and motorcycle accessories for over 40 years (and I sold Harleys). Takashi is clearly in the top tier of merchants I've bought from or worked with.

For instance, I suggested he add some clarifying information on a particular item, and it was on the site the next day. Not only that, he added a similar advisory on another item I hadn't even noticed.

Mr. T has my highest recommendation. I'll be doing business with him for many years.

I must confess I've ordered a thing or three in the couple of weeks I've owned the CB.

I placed an order the other day and I was a little too hasty. I emailed him to please make a change. He answered cheerfully that would not be a problem. Then I noticed something on his site I hadn't noticed before I placed the order and emailed him asking him to make ANOTHER change to the order. Another cheerful "no problem!" reply. This guy isn't just good, he's the best.

I ordered the rear rack from them the day before they went out on their summer break. I received an email from Mr T that day about their vacation and that they'd resume operations when they returned. On the 18th. (The day they came back) I received another email from them telling me that the item had been shipped. The rack arrived at my office on Friday 8/22, 4 days later.
Seriously....if they really shipped it when they said, and not sooner, that was great service! Frankly, even if it shipped earlier, it was still good. In addition, they included a beautiful, glossy, Honda brochure on the 2014 CB1100, both models, all colors. And they also included a Honda accessory catalog, also in full glossy color. I couldn't get a Honda brochure from my local dealer like this! Of course, all of the print is in Japanese. Oh and the Japanese newspaper used to cushion the rack was interesting... especially the movie section!
Mr. T... Good job and Thanks! Now the hard part...installing it!

Another great, unbeatable service from. Mr. T.

I ordered the Kijimi black engine guards and the Comet fairing, color matched with the stripes added. It was stated 2-3 weeks for shipping. I understood that, it's not a problem.

Two days ago, which was one week after ordering, Mr. T. sends me an email saying it shipped, much earlier than expected. The items arrive here today, just TWO DAYS later. Already installed and looking great. Isn't it great when things go better than expected? !

He had originally told me that it would be 4-6 weeks for the road comet in my color Big Grin and the next day I got an email stating that they had just finished one and it would be shipping the next day. I got my "boxes-o-goodies" 4 days later.

Happy camper am I. Big Grin
