Gidday, I've just returned to Auckland from 7+ years in the UK and shipped my beloved '98 ZX7R back with me but the hamfisted movers managed to bust one of the mirrors!!! The bike was insured for the trip but since I have to pay the first $130 (GBP50.00) I thought I'd see if I can source one myself first. So can anyone recommend any good wreckers or shops that might me able to help, as I am out of touch with who's good and who's crap!. Anyway great site and threads.

Cheers,

Truck

I've only really dealt with Spencer from Atomic (maybe that's fortunate...) so I can't give you a full comparison on prices etc - but he's a pleasant and sufficiently helpful bloke and had what I needed in stock, so I'l go back if a future need arises. Price was OK, but then again I was desperate so didn't haggle.

Like most bike-related shops in NZ, he's easier to phone than email :(
