I'm a Wassell dealer. Most things they sell are OK, some are junk and when I tell them so they usually do something about it and I don't sell them, and some things are excellent, why?
- Take EMGO which they are a distributor for. EMGO Roadster tanks and side covers - better than OEM IMHO. EMGO rear brake cable - so "heavy duty" it is not usable. EMGO handlebars - poor shape match but excellent quality otherwise. EMGO Lucas replacements mostly are poor quality with wrong sized holes.
- LUCAS most of the new Lucas (Wassell) parts are as good as or better than originals and they fit.
- Standard fasteners - look elsewhere.
- Stainless fastener sets are quite good, stainless front axels are excellent, stainless rear axels are mis-marked and are for older hubs only.
- Hepolite (Wassell) cams have worked well for me as have their piston sets. The pistons are actually JCC. The rings were Hastings, but since they stopped, then are now JCC and I've had no trouble with them other than the oil control ring being a PITA to install properly.
- Haven't use Girling (Wassell) shocks yet - have some and the look good and are adjustable so I have high hopes for them.
- I've sold LOTS of fork tubes for various BSA, Triumph and Norton models and have never had a complaint. I've installed new fork tubes on most my builds and have been happy with them They are sold by Wassell but I have no idea who makes them other than Wassell says they come from Taiwan. This is the kind of thing that as long as the suppler doesn't change they will be good - if they do, who knows?
- Master Cylinder/Caliper rebuild kits - no better or worse than AN just much less expensive to me.
- Much better stock of Triumph/BSA parts than Norton.
