    Hi group,
    Sorry to bother anyone, but I have just bought this old classic,
    and wondered where best to try for bits as I have as yet no idea
    where to try and source a centre stand for my bike. If any one
    has any recommendations, especially ones to assist :) then I
    would be most grateful.
    I have a spare cast alloy rear wheel for the same RD 400 DX if
    anyone needs a swap or something.

    Hi Nev, take a look at http://www.pgm1.freeserve.co.uk/ - I have bought
    various parts from them and they're knowledgeable and friendly.

    Many thanks for the link, I will have a butchers shortly. I've
    just bid on one that I've found on Ebay, but now I feel sorry for
    the guy I outbid! Oh well, I really need that centre stand.
    Cheers, Nev

    You are trying to wind Lozzo up, right?

    Just your luck eh?

    I had 4 of these kicking around, until I got sick of all the shite I'd
    accumulated and sold the lot.

    No, honest!
    But having read his post about being stuck with 4 of them, I can
    appreciate him being a tad sensitive.
    Sorry guys, but it was a genuine request.
    And I'm no longer winning the auction on Ebay, grr!
    Cheers, Nev

    I think Hog's reference is to this:

    Hmm, I see now, thanks.
    I did wonder why it was the only one of the RDs to have a 2
    letter code. Mind you, I used to have a Fizzy, and I'm sure that
    was referred to as a DX also. Well, OK, I'll try and refer to it
    as a D from now on, but I'm still puzzled as to where I've seen
    it referred to as a DX.

    The bigger RDs got their DX tag from the association with Fizzies. They
    never made a RD250/400DX, only a RD250/400D
