Tire/Oil/Parts Shop Anywhere?

Hey folks, I'm in Fez at the moment, and in need of a new set of tires for my DL650, and maybe an oil change. I've done a lot of searching online and I can't see anything. I thought there might be some larger bikes around and I could ask their owners, but I've seen nothing. I know there must be some places selling tires, oil, etc, around some of the bigger towns/cities.
Anyone know of any place in Fez selling tires or oil at all? If anyone knows any other spots the recommendation would be well appreciated.

Cheers,

Mick

There's a place in Fez you can try called Central Moto Central in Avenue Chefchaouni. Waypoint N34 02.512 W4 59.802.

It's about 200m due south from MacDonalds. Has a big red Honda sign outside. Worth a look, they sorted a new battery on my R1200GSA, another time they sorted rear wheel bearings on my F650GS twin. If necessary they could order up the tyres from Moto Plus (unless you really fancy the trip).

Hey Tim, cheers for that. I actually just got lazy and got Hussein in Moto Plus to send them to Fez for me from Casablanca. From friday afternoon they arrived in the depot by 9 am the next morning, saturday. I went and picked them up, had a mechanic that Hussein put me on to fit them for me and I was away. Cost of shipment for tires and oil, 100 DH, not bad at all. Saved me a trek. I'd well recommend Moto Plus if anyone's stuck.
The mechanic, Jamal, did a fine job, but was a bit on the expensive side so I won't go advertising him just yet.
Anyway, all worked out the finest in the end!
