Hello,
I'm in Istanbul at the moment, probably leaving in the next few days but I've had to find a few motorbike shops too. I'm staying in Kadikoy so everywhere I've found so far is on that side of Istanbul.
There's a group of shops in this area:

And on the other side of the highway here:
https://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=40...num=1&t=h&z=15
I think I have those locations correct. Either way, if you end up somewhere there you'll find motorbike shops.
At the first point is a lot of gear shops, a big KTM dealer, and a few workshops. The biggest gear shop I saw was there, but I'm unsure of the name now, It's next door to the honda service place, I think it was called moto plus or something, nothing here is far from anything else though.
At the second point are some more shops mostly selling bikes, but there is some gear about too. And curiously the distributor for oxford heated grips is there too, but didn't have stock (I was looking to replace the control unit).
There are mechanics all over this area too, but I have heard workmanship is sub-par...
Ryan.
