Hi, Kurt!

It is an open secret that the price for a bike made out of spare parts is several times higher than for a new one. The manufacturers earn a lot money by their 'after sales'. The prices for such parts like panelling or stickers are incredible high compared to the real important parts.

A few years ago I had to replace half of the motor because I forgot to check the oil ( after the trip it was too late ). In the same month a friend of mine had had an accident with his bike and had to replace the complete front panelling. We both payed the same price!

So I fear you won't get better prices in Germany. But I would check this for you if you provide the ordering numbers of the required parts to me.

Greetings,
		Manfred
