Who sells M/C bits these days?

    I'm having a total mental block on who sells motorcycle bits these days.
    The only one I can remember is 'the fast one' I'm sure I used to have abotu
    3 or 4 other catalogues

    I'm specifically after a nice new zorst for the 600 bandit, as they seem to
    come with the intermediat pipe so I'll weld that to the original headers
    where the link bit is shot. I'm hoping I can get one of those road legal
    jobbies that you can remove the baffles from, however price may be the
    deciding factor for this.

    If I go for a slip on intermediate pipe, are all slip on silencers generally
    the same size? They seem to be around 2½ inches external diameter, but I've
    not really paid that much attention!

    TIA

    Matt Horn emerged from their own little world to say
    They went titsup (MPS) after being taken over by M&P IIRC
    Original owner now trades as http://www.nippynormans.com/Home.asp and has a
    good reputation on UKGSer.com
    Try Busters. http://www.busters-accessories.co.uk/

    If an item is not on the website then email. They generally respond within
    48 hours.

    JB Racing (surprisingly, www.jbracing.co.uk) make a Quill T3 for the
    B6. I'd give that a go.

  5. In uk.rec.motorcycles, wessie amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:
    Their delivery times are good, too.

    I don't think that is a good idea, the engineers at suzuki have made it
    that way for a reason. Instead get hold of an old link pipe and chop
    off a 2 inch section and weld that on, you will need to weld a small
    section into it to expand it to replace the damaged parts.

    I'm hoping I can get one of those road legal
    they are not all the same.

    Cost? or just so they can sell you an official part a few years down the
    road?

    Even the breakers down the road said most people end up welding them up.

    Any hoo it's too late now, I've welded in the link pipe and bolted on a new
    end can :)
    hopefully this will hold out for the MOT test and maybe a year before I
    decide whether to buy a new system all together.
