For the benefit of others in Canada I'll relate my parts purchasing experience up to this point. I was heading to Edmonton Alberta, so I phoned ahead to motopartsinc (
www.motopartsinc.com ), who are online and deal exclusively in the British bikes. It was a great little shop to visit, but they only had a portion of what I was after. They did not have stock of the larger two items, namely the pannier rack/bags and the rear stand.
When I got back from Edmonton I called up Britcycle in Nova Scotia (
www.britcycle.com ). This is probably the largest NA suppler for Brit parts. Alas, they had neither of the bigger items either.
I looked at the website for Walridge in Ontario (
www.walridge.com ), but while they listed the pannier racks, they did not list the stand. As well, their prices were considerably higher. So I decided to expand the search and look overseas.
I was also watching ebay, but the few suppliers who were listing on there seemed to actually have the highest prices. There were also dealers like Burtons bikes in the UK, but for some reason, all my experiences with buying parts from the UK have usually resulted in higher shipping costs that the price of the actual items. As well, the British pound is still fairly strong against our dollar, currently sitting at around $1.63.
I found British Cycle Austria (
www.vintage-motorcycle.com) who had the best prices (in €, which currently sits at $1.33) and ordered from there. Not only did they have stock, but their already low prices were reduced further by the removal of the VAT. Shipping of course brings that back, but overall I am paying around half of what I would have paid in North America.
So now, like a big kid at Christmas, I will wait weeks (or hopefully not months) for a parcel to arrive from Austria. I may be piecing this bike back together sooner than I had planned.
