Nick, try a google search for Jame Sherlock BMW in the UK. They are an independent dealer.i got some parts from them last year for my old R80G/S. My local dealer quoted $44 per valve guide = $176. I had them from sherlocks in 6 days (with a whole lot of other stuff) for $75. they have a very comprehensive catalogue on line so give it a go.nigglec

Take a deep breath Nick. i ended up parking in a drain after a Dutch or german tourist came down the wrong side of the road at me north of Punakaiki. i saw him a coming from  a few hundred metres so had time to wipe off quite a bit of speed. At least he stopped and apologised. So what if he had a superior set of driving skills, i just wish he had executed those skills on the correct side of the road!! So lets get back to the point of the original question – “what scares me the most……..” well that scared me and the thought that it might happen again and that it might be on a blind corner scares me hence my response.
