What do you get and where? Is it worthwhile to bulk-buy, say, chain lube and the like?

I'm looking for a chain and sprocket set for the Mille and I'm going to buy a riveter this time for posterity.

I do like to keep the business local but there's a difference between new tyres vs a €9 can of chain lube for example.

I don't think you can buy oil from abroad, it's classed as a dangerous substance for normal shipping purposes.

I got oils and lubes from Louis no problems.

I buy a few of the bits i needed from motorcycleshop.ie.
Never had any hassle and tis free devilery when ya spend 50 quid.

I recommend huntermotorcycles on ebay.....never had a problem and uber fast delivery. You can get some very good prices on oils over here so I doubt you would be saving much.

Micks garage are selling Elf motorcycle semi synth oil for what looks like a decent price roughly 27 euro for 5 litres - I bought this last week - it's free delivery if you spend over 25 quid and it was delivered in two days.

What about the other things- pads, chains/ sprockets, filters etc. I've never found oil to be a deal breaker on its own and if I could get all the other bits online, I'd happily buy oil locally.

Is there anywhere you can buy most or all of your kit for a service? For example, wemoto seem to be able to supply most of the stuff under one roof (including the riveter I need) but they're far from the cheapest you'd see online.

This is home-servicing 101 for me, btw! I'm able for most things but I've always preferred to get my stamps for the records. That's gone by the wayside with the Mille...

motorcycleshop.ie for me. Can get in contact with them, and ask them to do up a service kit for you, specifying what you need. The free postage is very good - cheap for oil too imo

+1 for motorcycleshop.ie, they have the section for service kits as well:

You could try Crossans in Armagh. www.thevisorshop.com
Sterling is good at the moment. They deliver free anywhere in the country for orders over €50. Very helpful on the phone.
This week I got a DID X-Ring chain and sprockets for my Bandit for £110
as well as a set of Tyres (BT021) for £169.
Got them fitted for €20 at the local tyre centre. Works out around €370 for the lot. I'll fit the chain myself.
Local bike dealer quoted €513 for the same including fitting the chain.

~€100-€120 for D.I.D Chain and Sprocket Set

Relatively cheaper than most places from what I can see.

Think delivery will take about a week tho as it's coming from the UK.
