I was wondering if anyone knows of any good (cheapish) sites where I can pick up some aftermarket parts for my XVS125. Ive been scouring ebay but can only find a selct few (usually the same constantly). Im also feeling good, 2 weeks ago I would of needed to take it in to a garage to sort anything out that perhaps was amiss but this weekend I attached new brake pads on the front and tightened up the chain but still cant find the resevoir for the chain lube lol.
