I've always heard good things about mail order from Fowlers of Bristol. A number of smaller bike shops seem to be supplied by them anyway. You'd need to telephone them though, on +44 (0)117 977 0466 or fill in a parts request online.

Their web site is Welcome to Fowlers Motorcycles

Thumbs up Online Spares

This place is excellent for genuine yamaha spares online if you dont live near a dealer. You can do a partnumber search using the parts catalogue available on The HUBB.
Parts may take a few days to come as they are in the netherlands.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
