Ricky Cross

Does anybody know how to get hold of Ricky Cross equipment in the UK. It seems that they do centrestands and soft pannier racks for my increasingly tired XTZ750 and no other manufacturer seems to cater for overland parts for this beast of a motorbike. Thanks

It's Riky Cross (Italy) and i contacted them recently about how to buy their gear - they said they have no selling agent in the UK but if i tell them what i want they'll quote me incl carriage
I've heard their centre stand is a problem if you lean much as it grinds out at every opportunity - i haven't tried one myself and i'm looking at one at http://www.lexs.nl/ - expensive but supposedly the best
There's plenty of stuff you can get for these if you look, but crash bars are getting difficult as Jama and Motad ceased production and Hepco & Becker i found to be a rubbish fit and returned them - i'm trying to get some from Riky Cross if i can't find some used Motad ones
Have you found these sites?

- i just found a supply of Jama/Laser bars ex Belgium - fitted well and, unlike H&B and Motad, they take account of the frame not being symmetrical bottom of the page or i have one pair spare in the UK i could sell http://www.advrider.com/forums/showt...=128479&page=4
