Title: Sourceing parts
Post by: PaulSmith on 02 May 2012, 01:16:03 pm: I am looking for replacement bolts for the rear caliper. AJSuttons at http://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co.uk/spares/modelImage.asp?modelID=9023 (http://www.yamahamotorcyclespares.co.uk/spares/modelImage.asp?modelID=9023) can get them at £6 per bolt. Expensive, but they are specialist parts. OK, I can live with that, but then they want £19.52 for courier or £13.80 Royal Mail. WTF!

Does anyone know somewhere else I can get parts for the Fazer.

They are only bolts though so no doubt someone will know of an adequate replacement, not me though.
