Glad to have helped. I recently put a new front sprocket on my race bike (Suzuki GP100). One from Suzuki was US$16 and one from my friendly bike spares shop was $4.50! My advice is shop around for all these sort of things. I needed to replace the steering head bearings in my F650 BMW. I pulled the old ones, rang the BMW dealer and got a price of US$65. Before I left to pick up the new bearings, I decided to clean and take one of the old ones with me to make sure I got a correct match. That was when I noticed the Niacchi brand and part number. I called the Niacchi bearing agent and was told they had 27 in stock at less than US$10 each! Guess where I bought new ones from? (All prices are converted to US$ from NZ$) Sometimes you can pay a hell of a lot of money for the wrapper on a genuine part.
