    Wreckers in Oz

    Hiya,

    Has anybody here had experiences with any of the wreckers over in Australia ?
    Reason is, I'm looking over there for a set of forks for my ZX-10. They're pitted and I haven't been able to clean them up enough to stop the forkseals getting chewed out.

    Hard-rechroming seems to be either extremely expensive or just not available.

    The ZX-10's are not very common in the wreckers here in NZ so looking elsewhere.

    Any opinions appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Nudie.

    I have recently bought a whole lot of parts from a crowd over in oz, will post the name and details tomorrow when i am back at work. They were bloody good, and i paid by credit card on the friday, and had the parts delivered early the next week.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    If you're looking for something local.. the crowd in tauranga who is a newish Honda dealership had some hard to find parts recently.

    I'll have to dig out the name and post

    Heya,

    Found a set at ShowandGo in South Australia.
    They want AUS$295 +$30 to $40 freight.
    I'm guessing all up that will be nearly $400 in our $$.

    Does that sound about right?
