Wemoto are good.
 
Don't use M&P, unless you have plenty of time and patience

have used M&P in the past with no issues. their store burnt down last year and they are in the process of rebuilding.

Well i have had parts send that are faulty had to return for new ones at my inconvenience, then i ordered some clothing that was on offer, what arrived was a different product and a different size completely again more inconvenience to me for return, just kinda gave up after that. That was before the shop burnt down, might be better now but for me they are on the use last list.

I've used this firm recently: http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/ really helpful and fast delivery, especially after an 8 week wait for M&P to supply an ASV clutch lever. These guys delivered one the next day!

I'd backup BMCfaz. www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk are great. They are quick, cheap and are really good with returns. Returned a pair of RST gloves as the stitching failed on my first ride, they had ordered the part in and had the new ones to me the day after they recieved the faulty ones from me.


Great service.
...Oh Yeah!
