XT 500.COM CLOSING DOWN
« on: December 03, 2008, 06:50:08 am »
I see that Andrew Mason is closing down his XT/TT parts business in the UK early next month as his contract with KENDO in Germany finishes, they were helping with the financing of the business >:( Kendo will find someone else in the UK to sell the parts, Andrew is having a discount sale on parts before he closes.

yes had someone tell me ALL about this today. he seemed to suggest this guy was all excited and jumped in too big too soon with all the repro stuff he was doing and probabaly struck financial issue, forcing the closing, not a lack of passion for what he was doing/selling. He was doing an excellent job with some of his repro stuff though. He had perfect plastics, perfect repro handle bars with correct size cross bar and excellent chrome etc. i think companies like DC's should take a good hard look at these companies producing top quality plastics like VMX plastics here and this yamaha 500 stuff in UK to see what is achievable.
