Has anyone seen the price of a genuine sv650 exhaust, somewhere between £600-700.

MCN did a test a few years ago about the price of bike parts, they broke down a new ZX6 kwak and priced every new part as a individual item from the dealer, the ZX6 list price was £7,200 and in bits it would cost nearly £30,000!

thats why these bike breakers buy brand new bikes and just strip them.

ordered a set of Performance friction pads for the front and a set of ebc for the rear £85 all in !!! should take about 25 mins for me to fit!

Last set of pads I bought were about £15 from Halfords

My mate was quoted £54 for a Marauder 125 brake lever - His Hardly Ableson bits are cheaper for genuine parts...

maybe they saw your sig, hmmmm 3 bikes let's take him for a ride

,

as others have said buy the pads else where (no the oe ones) & diy it, they are easier to fit than u think. i found this out when rechie numbers fitted my front pads for me.
