    Mud'n'tar (suzuki dealer),wauchope ,nsw there's a young bloke (brock) on the counter there that seems genuinely interested in the old bike's which is really refreshing these days -as the saying goes - "if you forget your history you've learnt nothing "  ;)

Mick Hone Suzuki IIRC Steve is very knowledgeable on older bikes and knows what current parts swap with old ones. Great to deal with as well.

I second that recommendation. Steves been around a long time (loves it when you remind him of it too :D) so he doesn't look cross eyed at you if you ask for parts for older models.
WANTED. Canams;all models,complete or parts.SWM stuff too!

Not a dealer as such, but there's not much that he can't get.

If you can stand the second hand smoke from the rolly permanently stuck to old Bruces lips, this dingey old school former Suzuki dealership is a goldmine. Much of the motocross stuff is gone (I was told he even had some RH spares kits, now long gone of course) but there's still a smattering of trail and enduro stuff on the shelves.

I have always found Raceway Suzuki in Niddrie (Vic) to be helpful.

What Mick Hone has realised is that customers want service, no names mentioned but the local Suzuki dealer here in Newcastle insisted I was to come in a pay for a $20 gasket before they ordered it. Leigh at Mick Hone said to me, "Yes we have 3 in stock($16) and we can express post today, how do you want to pay with a card or DD?". I directed a friend to them he bought $200 worth of parts and got free Express Post shipping. The dealers that do this will have a healthy balance sheet those that don't will be forever whinging.
