Here you go, http://www.wemoto.com/

they seem to supply everything, might not be the cheapest though!

I get my stuff from eBay quite frequently, otherwise Wemoto isn't bad. For bearings I use www.simplybearings.co.uk or www.marksman-ind.com

Can use Leicester bearings and all screwed up for your local bearing and screw needs

Forgot to mention, I use Fowlers of Bristol for any genuine parts that I can't find elsewhere.

Wemoto are good, especially for older bikes, like my old Suzuki and yams.

Those aren't spares, they're mods  :grin:  Try www.sw-motech.com as they are where I got my foot pegs from and the manufacturer's of the OEM crash bars and bash plate for the old Wee models.

Slight change to this thread - I'm looking for a folding brake pedal for a Vee.  Not the cheapest.. just SOMEWHERE that actually sells them!  Any ideas?

I got one from Touratec.  

Quite expensive but excellent bit of kit.

Keep us updated on the fitting.  I have had the same one since January but haven't got around to fitting it yet.


A disgrace to biking...
