Buying OEM Parts online? - SV650.org

Hi Guys
I'm after some replacement parts for my Curvy (just odds and ends mostly) and am struggling to find a site that keeps a good level of stock. I have previously owned a Honda bike and always used Lings. Couldnt rate them highly enough, have a good stock levels and its pretty clear what your ordering.

I have stumbled accross Robinsons but as mentioned, most of the parts seem to be on order. Not that its a huge issue but if they have to order them to meet my order it would be easier to cut the middle man?

Does anyone know of other sites that offer something like the sites mentioned above for a Curvy?

Thanks

Robert

To be fair whenever I've had stuff on order from Robinsons it's always arrived before the stated date (normally 7-10 days if it's on order isn't it?) Used them a number of times and always been happy with the service.

Part I ordered from robinsons on march 2nd (fri) turned up today. Not bad as it was showing as 'on order' with the standard 7-10 day lead time.
I'd give em a go if I were you.

your local suzuki dealer will get you them within the same time.

I tried Robinsons Foundry for the first time recently for a OEM choke cable. It was listed as in stock when I purchased it on Thurdsay evening. On Friday I got an email saying it had been dispached an I received it on Saturday. Great service. Before I would go to my local Suzuki dealer for OEM parts, but they were George White who have now closed up shop.
