Does Kim actually deal in spares?
I went there once (he wasnt there) and was told by the guy working there, that Kim doesnt do much selling of spares anymore.
Would love to know what is the situation
Thanks
Ernie

Cool Hi Thomas

Thanx for the spares mate, but i have already sourced spares from Germany. I had heard nothing from Kim for an age so went ahead and ordered parts via a friend. It worked out for both gears and shaft to aprox. R2000-00. I am grateful for the effort never the less.

I am still looking for a few odds and bobs for my 3aj, front brake disk, side covers, clutch lever (with switch). If you know of panniers or have any advice on sourceingthat kind of stuff that would be cool.

Peter

Hi Peter,

Clutch lever you get easy as pirate part. Clutch Switch I have to search for. Brake Disc should be also no problem as pirate part.

Side covers! May a friend can copy you some out of fiberglas, what colour do you need?

I stock also new parts for the 3AJ:
Airfilter, speedo and rev.Counter cable, Polysport fork boots, brake pads, mainfolds, clutch levers as well, discs no stock at the moment.

regards Thomas

Cape Town here I come!

Hi Wingnut and others,
Just wondering if you got your XT club together and if I can be a temporary member for a couple of weeks?
I am riding from London to SA and will be arriving in Cape Town in about a week - hurrah!
Although I am on a TTR250 on this trip, I am a proud owner of two XTs back home - an XT500 and a 225. And the TTR is a pretty close relation...
So if you're planning any rides around the end of Jan/beginning of Feb, it would be great come along before I send my bike back to the UK.
You can drop me a line via my website (address below).
Cheers,
Lois

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.
