Status: offline 		Anyone know if sites that you can get replacement parts? I broke the rear chain sprocket and I can not find a replacement part for it. There was an upgrade kit for all the gears (part number GPW11) but I can not find anyone that has it. I would like the upgraded kit if possible but I need to have something or the bike is useless. I hate the idea of getting a new kit just for that part....

Please help!
Thanks.

Status: offline 		I ordered mine when he e-mailed me to say they were in stock, and a steering damper(might as well,when it's coming all this way).To make it worse benracing.co.uk eventually sent me an e-mail(well over a week later),to say the plastic gears are in the post.Will have about 2 spare sets of gears by the time every thing comes.Am up to stickering stage now but really waiting for gears.I will also have to make the double ended shaft that joins the fairing together as I have lost mine,so basically waiting for parts.......
Thanks for telling every one about GPW11 being in stock Gear-head
