Hi folks, I'm new to biking and recently passed my test and got. 2015 Kawasaki Versys (650).
I'm wondering what good and reliable websites there are out there for original manufacturer and after market parts for the likes of screens, radiator covers, crash bars / bungs / frame sliders etc.

Re: Original and After Market Parts websites
On my Versys I went for an Evotech radiator guard - http://www.evotech-performance.com/vers ... ct_type=11
Sw-Motech engine bars - http://www.motohaus.com/acatalog/SW-Mot ... -15--.html
For engine bars or any other frame mounted protection products make sure you get the 2015 Versys versions as mountings were changed on the new version.
Worth getting is a set of paddock stand bobbins for the swing arm and a paddock stand with "prongs" for lubing the chain etc.

Cheers Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian), handy ones there. Seen that bars before and look decent.
I was tempted to go with the OEM Kawasaki frame sliders but some say they are inclined to shear off in the event of a slide and are more if you drop the bike whilst slow manuvering.

Quite like these Hepco and Becker ones

Not wanting to burst the bank.
Yep got front and rear stands coming, the rear has castors on it to allow better positioning in my cramped storage area.
