If that's the case with the North I'd be delighted, I'm a creature of habit and like crossans. Not used caprimoto before as most of the things I get are usually second hand, I sound like a womble.
Prob have to buy from ebay.de
This is what you want so
https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/
I've picked up several bike parts that I couldn't find anywhere else from here (and I buy from all over the world if needs be) and postage wasn't too bad.
Next thing Im having a problem is a rebuild kit for front brake caliper of the Mastiff.
Apparently they are not made anymore.
Bike is a right pain in the hole to get parts for.
Anyone wanna swap for a Suzuki bandit or something :pac:

Thanks for the links, I must have a proper gawk tonight. Have bought from all over the world but the Krauts are always bloody expensive. The eyeties postal system is a joke. The japs take forever and Frenchie eventually gets round to posting. The britz were by far the best imo. Feckin brexit.
Don't flip the mz. So she plays hard to get with you, that makes it all the sweeter lol:) It's a nice yoke.
If its a grimeca or Brembo I can help you most likely.
If it is actual unobtanium it's time to to start measuring hole spacing and disc offset to graft something else on.
The front anchor on the Dr 750's was shyte in 88 and the single best mod to em (bar sorting the grenade between the frame rails) is a caliper swap.
You should consider it.0 -

Here's another site for a bit of a nose.

Obviously not worth bothering with for run of the mill stuff but some rare stuff does pop up on it.
Got these in France, I think I was the only bidder.how bad!
Part of a Tuono Racing kit which only 150 were made in 2003.
I think they were €70ish delivered.
Never used, in a guys attic since day one and he was having a clear out.
A reverse gear shifter and aluminium exhaust hanger.
No real problems with stuff from anywhere.
Most of my problems have been when the item arrives in Ireland.
DPD either losing it or DHL can't find my house even after explaining on the phone and them being here loads of times.
Ah, I wouldn't sell the Mastiff at all.
Yeah Grimeca caliper.

Its worth doing, esp if you're gona be on the black stuff more than not. Great thing about the 650 is its all been done before and there's usually options on a shelf someplace;)I'm considering if i do the big disc swap on the DR650se I'm building,
maybe when im replacing the front disk i'll do it then
Been following you're thread on the build, you're flyin it.Here's another site for a bit of a nose.

Be surprised if Bob Wight didn't have seals and pistons for that in some fashion or other. He's a gilera specialist and they use grimeca. I've used him for my grafting of the 4 pot caliper off the nordwest onto both my bigs.
Send him a mail?
If it's pistons you need remove them and ask itsl in Middleton to make you some in stainless. Seals are the deal breaker I suppose.

If he's not got specific stuff for the Mastiff then measure the pistons and ask about other models with that od piston.
Dig the bling man! The tuono is sweet, would like to bag one, who doesn't like a comfy Mille!

Thanks, I'll give Bob a shout so and take it from there.
Graham's MZ specialists in UK haven't had them in stock with a good few years now so Bob is last shot at improving the Grimeca.
Have you still the Nord west?
You've a thing for nords (capo and west).
BTW, another Cagiva Navigator popped up on donedeal.
Not as clean as the last one.0 -

I dropped my Z7 off at a bike shop before Christmas for work on the front end as the job looked beyond me. I am wondering how that is getting on. Its 20 miles away from where I live.
My shed at the moment is as tidy as it's ever going to be.
I'm going to really try hard this time to keep like that.

Steeltech? Shed shopping this year. That looks like a nice size.
No just a fella that makes them himself.
Cheaper than steeltech.
But while it's well made, the steeltech ones are superior when it comes to the doors.
Better quality and more sealed.
If you were looking for a steel shed without laying a concrete floor, a neighbour of mine got one from a local company.
It has a wooden floor.
I was well impressed with it.
I bought a 20ft X 10ft wooden shed not long before him.
Had I known that they were available I would much prefer one and it was only a couple of hundred more expensive than my wooden one (same size)
