I really need to get some baffles and other small generic bits for my bike.

Is there any shop around the London area (in the city or outside) that sells parts and has a decent variety of stock?

Not talking about Infinity/Hein Gericke shops (been there already) and I also tried some of the biggest and well know shops around the city but they have been more than useless (only clothing, branded stuff and completely clueless if I asked about some other shops around).

Cheers?
 
Baffles come in assorted shapes and sizes, according to make and purpose. What are you trying to do? If you are really stuck, a drink tin with some holes punched in it might do... I used a beer can once.

A decent variety of a stock of 'parts' of what?

'Stuff', 'Bits'n'bobs'?

Narrow it down a bit, pal.

These bods are not in London but not a million miles away, either: http://www.wemoto.com/
 
Hi Wapping, I was trying to fit baffles on the bike.

Bought two on eBay, they were the wrong size (for a few millimiters) cut them with the dremel, but eventually I didn't have to use them because my bike, at the end, passed the noise test at the trackday.

Next time I'll be in Brighton I'll pop in the shop to have a look. Thanks!

From time to time I'll need the odd bit for the bike (this time it was baffles) and most shops in London don't stock this sort of things.
I'm growing a bit tired of having to order most of the stuff online as sometimes it is nice to see the merchandise in your hands before you buy, and I don't mind paying a bit more.

When I was trying to shop for baffles around London... and they didn't have any, when I asked "do you know any shop in the area or in the city that might have them" the usual response was "don't know, have you tried Google or eBay?" :blast

I'll have to re-pack the exhaust now. So, I will need some more "stuff". :D
