how dee!

found this site from the US selling shed loads of bike parts.

http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm?gclid=CPaIrcvHtokCFR7LEAodjxp0Yw

the above is a link to their site specifically for the year '01 sv 650s. there are detailed schematics of the bike along with part numbers etc. some of the stuff seems a bit on the steep side all the same,
ie ONE mirror =US$43 or rear brake lever = US$74 :?

but it would seem that they have everything in stock!!!

anyway, just looking to see if anybody has used this site or would recomend another.
what im looking for is the RHS front fairing in grand candy blue. fleabay hasnt got anything and i cant be waiting round.

they are stocking it (alpha-sports), might fork out the spondullas ($200 incl shipping) if it means i can get it within a few weeks.

what ya's think
anybody got any good/bad experiences buying online

cheers

Careful, in the UK anyway larger "parcels" tend to attract the attention of customs and will most times end up costing more when you get a bill for VAT/Duty

Might be fine down your parts though :)

Never bought from them but prices look pretty similar to what you'd pay in the UK, plus the shipping.
