Alchemy Roy Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 How do you do Squire? What kind of parts are you after Martin?
midnight61 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 How do you do Squire? What kind of parts are you after Martin? well, its just a guess roy, but i reckon he's after wing mirrors and indicators for starters....and probably chrome at that..
martiniman Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 Lol yeah! Thats a start and how did you know i wanted them in any colour as long as its chrome! God you guys are good! well, its just a guess roy, but i reckon he's after wing mirrors and indicators for starters....and probably chrome at that..
Alchemy Roy Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Let it go man; common sense was not a pre-requisite when I joined the forum! Take a look at our website on www.alchemybikes.co.uk for the above and various bits and pieces, if you fancy. IF you want more personal advice, give me a call on 01707 665164. Hope this helps, Roy
Ttaskmaster Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 common sense was not a pre-requisite when I joined the forum! On the one hand, I always assume it is. On the other... well, this *is* the internet
martiniman Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 Thats great guys those 2 sites look spot on. Also Has anyone changed the exhaust pipes on a xvs 125 if so any good sites that sell custom exhausts?
midnight61 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 although its frowned upon in certain quarters for very real reasons, ive just imported ... a set of cobra speedster shorts ....a cobra fi2000cl fuel processor ....total cost, including delivery, customs, import duty and other handling charges..... wait for it... £549 ALL IN ...!!! all arrived in perfect condition. there are risks and pitfalls, but it worked for me, saved me BIG money

Post some pics when you get them on I prefer to source local/from the UK whenever I can, but I saved over £400 on Yamaha OEM saddlebags for the 1300 by importing from the US... If Yamaha etc didn't charge so much in the UK I'd never have to look to import. I think Highway Hawk do exhausts/slip ons for the XVS125... am sure Roy can give you some options?

I'd love to, but Highway Hawk no-longer make exhausts for the XVS125. If I hear of any they have lying around, I'll post info for sure.
