Afternoon guys,

Just thought id let you all know of a place ive just dealt with who were very good. Theyre called Busters Accessories - www.busters-accessories.co.uk

I rang them yesterday and ordered a few bits (namely, a chain and sprocket kit and battery). I placed the order after lunch yesterday - they said it would take 5 - 7 days to arrive but said it might arrive earlier as they didnt charge the credit card until it was despatched.

Anyway, the box arrived at lunchtime today - thats less than 24hours and all they charged was £3.50 per order.

They were bloody cheap too - my local bike shop wanted £92.50 for the chain/sprocket kit and £47 for the battery. Busters charged me £57.50 for the chain kit and £19 for the battery.

Great price, great service - recommended.

Cheers

Dave

actually that sounds bloomin cheap!! I doubt I could have saved you much more than that. just For Info ; I now can get supplies from the people that supply www.mandp.com , thats 60,0000 products (alledgedly)

i would struggle to ship batteries, most transport firms don't want to touch acids.. who did busters use?

My parcel came via Parcel Force. Maybe they just didnt tell them what the box contained! lol The acid isnt inside the battery though - its in its own sealed container - i have to pour it into the battery and, presumably, charge it up.
