There's a place we nicknamed 'moto alley' in Bogota. It is a couple of blocks of nothing but motorcycle shops. I'm sure you can find it there at a good price.

From the intersection of Av Jiminez de Quesada and Carrera 14, go east about two blocks. In other words, it is at Carrera 14 and Calle 15 or so.

My Garmin GPS gives the following coords:
N4 36.360 W74 04.674

Hope that helps. I'll be in Quito for the next month. If you are coming through, we should at least have lunch.

I am sure you can get hold of one in Bogota, (make sure it is the right way round, although it will fit anyway). I bought one for 120,000 pesos, ($63), 2 weeks ago, here in Santa Marta. I am sure there was a hefty commission involved though. If you weren´t going the other way you could buy mine off me, because it´s the only thing that works at the moment!!

Suerte, vaya bien.
