Does anyone know where you can get some aftermarket Brake and clutch levers that will fit?
Was Looking for some grips too i like the driven d3's but not sure about there legnth etc.
Also my rear calliper appears to be completely bust, one of the pistons is seized and really rusted into the calliper which has rusted around it as well. I was wondering if anyone had a spare or knew where i could get one?
Thanks for any help

yeah im a regular browser but cant have never seen anything other than bits from thailand and hong kong, surely there must be a uk supplier for levers, footpegs etc.
As for the caliper there are some on ebay but seem to be way overpriced...

Just from my personal experience the quality of parts from Overseas has been massively inferior in terms of correct fitment and quality of materials used. I bought some grips from hong kong before that were supposed to be like the driven d3's and they were awful quality.

There not from hong kong though? The hong kong ones are £25-£30 quid. They do look exactly the same? Maybe the guys selling them in the UK are buying them from abroad and selling them on and people in the UK are willing to pay more because they think there not cheap ones from abroad.
