Your going to be struggling mate, I've never seen what I'd call a good set of second hand units yet. Noletech do a universal strut top that I'm looking into atm, to see if it can be made to fit the mighty boy's or not. Not sure on price yet.

Cheers

Seems the closer you are to Melbourne, the less you will have to pay. I priced genuine out of Caloundra City Motors a couple of years back & someone else got a price in Melbourne (the parts warehouse is there). Caloundra was double the Melbourne price "due to freight".
So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..

More like double the price due to the profiteering for the little bit of effort to get them in.

I priced up some genuine tops a little while ago, as I get trade I thought they were pretty reasonable, it's something that I should do in my boy soon.

Yes ToranaGuy, that was my interpretation... Cost + GST + freight x 2 rather than cost + GST x2 then add freight.

Worth emailing streeter and seeing how much direct from Suzuki JP

Listing on a russian parts site is 3000yen, I would think they could be landed for 150 a pair

TBH the $113ea for the stock ones isnt too much, but interested in better ones.

They don't I spent some time based on the information that I got from JB and the kit that he has in his and you can't buy them by themselves. Having said that though it wouldn't be too hard to design a set to get made up.
