Hi Matt,

I'm restoring a GK73a at the moment and have found Robinsons Suzuki are good for most parts. I've got loads of stuff from e-bay and scouring sites like Pistonheads yields parts sometimes. The engine spares are easily obtained as most of the parts are the same as the early Bandit 400's and RF400's. I have found the hardest bits to find are exhaust spares but even these can be found as long as you are patient. Incidentally a company called Sandy Bikes are shortly going to produce a pattern exhaust for the GK76a with a view to doing the same for the GK73a. Fingers crossed. Hope this helps

Matt,

Sorry forgot to mention the manuals. English versions are like rocking horse Sh*t (if they are available at all)but the cd's on e-bay are quite good as they show exploded pictures as per the Haynes series of manuals. There are PDF downloads around on the internet but they come without any feedback from users. They do prove useful sometimes for thinngs like cable or pipe routes.
