| Just wondering what everybody's recommendations are for shopping for Swing accessories and also sites to STAY AWAY from?
Thanks for your input.

| If first impressions are any good, I've had good luck with Motorcycle Superstore.

| I don't think there is a a single shop where I can buy all the stuff I have on my Silver Wing. It's came from various places at home and from Germany but it's internet searches that's sourced it for me. I try to fit stuff that's easy to remove and use on my next maxi. My next purchase is a lockable mount for my Garmin sat nav.
Buying stuff from the UK and Europe means I won't be shafted for the tax and import duty I'd be liable to ordering stuff from the USA.

| I've had good experiences with Motorcycle Superstore also. Plus you can have tires sent directly to a "preferred service provider" - hopefully a shop you know in your area. |

| Thanks for your input. I am now on my 3rd (yes three) Swing. Just looking for some new places to buy some accessories. I found a place in Philadelphia called Revzilla. Ordered a Givi windshield from them and a few things from Dennis Kirk. |

| I've always had good luck buying knick knacks and paddy whacks off ebay for my swing. |

| I buy most of my things from Ebay. If I see something i know i will need, at some point,and the price is right then i will buy.An example, was an Air Filter for the Silverwing usually priced around £24, I bid on one and got it for £16 including P&P. I just bought a new Wing and won't need it till 12,000mls but, I now have one "in stock." |
