i get my gear from itching 2 go as he is the parts man for a suzuki dealer in surrey. not local to you but i would think he'd bring the bits to soho on a friday night if you ask nicely

I use Spares Direct all the time, good range of stock. Sorted me out with a rear brake switch assembly when I couldn't get one anywhere else and was getting MOT'd within the hour. They seem to be able to get pretty much anything out within a couple of days (though I've not asked for anything really out of the ordinary).

Most recent MOT was done by Riverside Motorcycles in Putney, it's a Harley garage so if you fail on anything they won't fix it for you, but pretty reasonable in their application of the rules.

But I'd guess there's probably a decent place closer to you.
