    My only experience with DK is when I was after spares for my RD03 and they had some panels and tank, from an RD04 which will of course fit, and their prices were more than double of other breakers

    I cant speak for the quality of the items they sell though!!

    Probably not much help but that all I can offer, perhaps others have more idea as to quality etc

    I`ve used them a few times.

    Yep,they are a tad pricey but the parts were exactly as described and the service was very good.
    Also,as stated,they guarantee their used parts...especially engines.

    They're just down the road from me in Newcastle-under-lyme and it's where I got my Versys from, they are generally fairly good and fair price, but they are advertised as the largest bike supermarket in Europe (they certainly have lots of secondhand bikes).

    Problem is a big shop will have big overheads, so you may find some spares expensive, on the other hand I got some forks for my lads Suzuki 125 very cheaply (Chinese pattern import).

    I would have been happy to go and check it out for you, but I'm off to Torquay for a week seting out at 9am tomorrow, soonest I could get there would be the weekend after next, sorry matey.
