Jim,

Hi from the UK. Try US Ebay (ebay.com) for secondhand ones. There are firms like Pinwall Cycle who have shipped stuff to me and no doubt others on there. Be aware that shipping costs from the US are very high, although parts prices can be cheap. Make a point of confirming that any seller is prepared to ship to Oz, as some will not send stuff outside North America. I recently bought a fuel tank for 66 bucks, but it cost 100 for shipping. You may also get hit with import taxes by your friendly Oz taxman!

 

I have some sort of fender I picked up in a package deal. It's Davidson and for the 130 rear tire. It has the "bobbed" look, the flare on the end. Send me your email and I'll send you a photo.

 

Those bikes are pretty rare...used may be hard to find. Aftermarket are easy to come by.

hi gr
thanks for reply i no what you mean i bought a set of bags for $80 and it cost $100 to ship
i find that some large aftermarket stores will give free shipping if you spend x amount
j&p for example

I haven't tried them, but I would be surprised if that applies to customers outside the USA. These things normally only apply to the 'contiguous' states, in other words they don't include Hawaii or Alaska, so I think we colonials are excluded! If you are tempted, contact them first to check.

 

hi gr
i have used j&p a few times spend $300us a its free shipping even to oz

 

Jim,

That's remarkable! I'll keep that in mind in future, thanks.
