Few nice bits coming up in Lidl

http://www.lidl.ie/en/Offers.htm?id=1034

Anybody know how sturdy those shelves are?

Wonda-Boy

Shelves are grand and sturdy for what they are, I have a set I got 2 yrs ago and still going strong. You dont have to build them up that high you can have them half and half waist high if you want.

Grand, might give them a shot then.

The heavy duty hand cleaner is the dogs bollocks! Should last ages too. Wish I had gotten more than two though.

Lads Halfords have the Magnum security locks for €30, I was looking at these a few months ago and they were nearer €100. Rated 10 on the security scale they are very well made with 5 keys one of which has a little LED light on it better then any chain (bar almax obviously) and is long enough for swingarm and wheel locking and great for popping in the backbox or actually locking to the frame of the bike for when out and about.

You get a carry bracket but its for a bicycle so I stuck it on my bike for when I need it on the bike and the lock in the back box of motorcycle

Absolute bargain for the price, website says €40 but I have been in 2 halfords over the last 3 days and they are €30 in stores. I got mine for €30 in Meath....

I'd second motorcycleshop.ie, good prices and very quick delivery on anything I have ordered from them in the past.

stewygriffin

I get me oil/air filters from Ebay and get them delivered to a family members house in the Uk for free.
I then being them back home on the plane in my cabin baggage.

Oh and thanks to the poster who mentioned the Lidl heavy duty hand cleaner,picked up a tub of it at lunch,and its the mutts nutts.

I recently used motorcycleshop.ie for the 1st time and they are very very good. Would not use anyone else after these boys, competitive prices and very fast delivery and dont have to put up with the popularity bollox of certain Dublin shops (if you in the clique or know the know you get good prices otherwise you get screwed)

They are great , bought stuff from them recently and got a VIP pass to the RDS bike show for free, they have a 10 % online discount code until the end of March , the code is SHOW17 . they offer FREE DELIVERY on purchases over 49 euro . buy at home not in England

robinwing

and NO I don't work for them , just a very satisfied customer of motorcycleshop.ie over many years , would not touch the shop with the big windows

I just checked them, €100.70 for a service kit for my bike. Got it on ebay for €54.0 delivered via parcel motel

But I think for serviceable items in general its hard to beat ebay prices.

COOLANT. More of a request. I'm looking for 5l of coolant. Honda, and silicate free. What do you use + where to buy? Also is the halfords ready mixed brand ok for bikes?

Cotters,big drum of it for about 30 yoyos.

5l? Silicate free? Brand? Last time I was there one of the lads couldn't say for definite if it was Silicate free. To be honest 3 different bike shops at one stage couldnt say for definite if the the coolant was safe for my bike. You sort of get a look as if you had 2 heads and they say "well this is the stuff we sell"

This says it's silicate free.
Can I ask way 5 litres?
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361837441881

Spotted them on eBay alright. Not a bad price. Well the blackbird takes 4.3 litres. I think anyway

Yeah????
That sounds like a crazy amount.
My ZZR1400 takes 2 litres.

Btw I'd be double checking all the specs on whichever coolant you go for.
There are a few different Motul Moto Cool type ones even.
