Get a genuine one asap.

Thanks jim , what about availability on other standard service parts

Neosophist and Thunderace are probably the chaps to ask. Pattern oil filters are fine to use afaik.

all the things like oil filters, brake pads, plugs and such are easy enough to get hold

Yer neo put me on to him before about some rear footpeg hangers but can't get them any were thanks 4 all your help

The brake pads and oil filter are used on many more bikes so are easy to get.

The air filter is slightly more rare but can still be had.

cmsnl.com have the left hand side holder in for 125 + tax + shipping (i think this is probably too much to spend, i wouldnt spend it)
