Thanks Chris. I've managed to sort everything. On a last attempt before pressing the DHL button, we found a bike shop near the old market, with a load of old Teneres parked outside. Wrote BMW F650 DAKAR (2002) on a piece paper with a sketch of what i needed, then they did all the running. We practically got held hostage there all afternoon. The one guy left entertained us with guided tours round the meat market, veg market, and tool stores, even fetched Fantas and bananas. Eventually, someone delivered an old F650 to the shop in the back of a taxi. There was enough life in the sprockets to get me home. Had to pay through the nose but it was still way cheaper and quicker than getting the bits from the UK. Thanks again, Mike
