Does anyone on the forum have one of these, mine is an A6 1989 Model.

How are you going getting parts for yours now??

Seems like I have to source the world for bits, it has been a project bike, but that was 2 years ago, now its just been cranking up the K's and with that comes more maintenance.

So i'm asking if anyone knows where to get parts at a good price.

Time to trade it in, not enough time to spend on it anymore, and soooooo much money has been pumped into this thing:(

The poms are great bike fanatics, You should have a look at some of the LC and air cooled RD sites, some cool restorations and specials they build
