Yeah I keep looking but they seem to be strong money compared to some private sales and regularly have loads missing from them.

You are better off going to see them rather than look at ebay sales

DK have a nasty habit of robbing stuff that's worth a few quid, then they sell it separately and make a few more quid on the same bike, leaving you with the bother of trying to find whatever it is they've robbed.

That's exactly what my thoughts were, I've watched loads of DK's XS650 and now cb550's and they regularly have side covers or expensive bits missing. To me it's crafty business knowing they list those bits at high prices, so your £2.5k project needs another £700 of their spare parts
