Hi

As the title really, has anyone got any links to UK based spares suppliers? I am particularly looking for a nice after market exhaust that is in keeping with the bikes appearance and not to modern looking.

Cheers in advance

the only one I know is the dutch site xs650.nl or something, i got some mixture screws for my carbs and they were here within a week.

Shame Halco closed down, they where good....got a few bits off them sent to Oz.

The old bloke died i think. :(

Cheers guys, its odd isn't it, you'd think with the number of 650's that have been imported into the country that it would be a little bit easier to source parts for them?

We have got family in California that are coming over in October so I might just order from US suppliers and have it delivered to their place, then they can carry it all over on the plane. I mean they won't want to bring clothes and things with them will they? :D

Cheers, will have to brush up on my German, good selection of stuff there.

Rudiger Paustian has a lot of stuff on his site and if you click the union jack at th top it comes up in english put your stuff in to the shopping cart and forward your order with your email addy and he will send back a total price and a paypal advice of what to pay with postage. his P&P charges are pretty good from germany not rip off like some foreign companies

anyhow heres the site, Oh i was told Tony Hall of Halco topped himself, shame nice guy i spoke to him a couple of times getting brake caliper seals for my RD,s

site

xs650shop.de

No..its the 'SE' Special Edition'...that's what they called it over here....but I think the wheels fit all (taking into account disc/drum brake variations...)
