Shopping in London
 
I'm going to London in a few weeks, and I want to buy some new leathers and some stuff for my SV (a small windscreen, heated grips, seat cowl). Can anyone recommend some good stores in central London?

For things that you don't need to try on, you'd be better off getting via mail order/internet - eg Busters, M & P, DemonTweaks

There are several places that I can think of - Infinity, Heine Gericke & J&S Accessories - they all have websites that will show you the nearest store, but to be honest there aren't any decent bike accessory stores in central London :cry:

Infinity on great portland street have always been good to me, James (skin head and tats) is who i usually speak to, really helpful, knows his stuff and will often throw in a freebie if you ask nicely :wink:

Not so easy when you're living in Norway, as shipping, taxes and customs easily adds 50% to the purchase costs ;-)

eek :shock:

Heated grips can probably be picked up with not too much trouble, eg Oxford, but seat cowls will have to be ordered from a Suzuki dealer

What you really want is a friend over here to order the gear & you just pick it up when you come over :wink:
