Where can I get a stainless wheel spindle?

For the front, obviously.

PS> Tried to fit the rocker cover protectors (OEM plastic BMW ones) this morning, and the lower machine screws (directly south of the cylinders) won't go in at all. The hole seems to have become a furry, threadless mess. Am I OK to just have them fitted with 2 bolts??

Loving the bike. Except some sod kicked off my rear indicator in a bike park last night. Now it is 1) held on with zip ties and 2) only working intermittently.

There was an indicator stem on fleabay yesterday. New price from Motorworks? £5.01. eBay price, second hand? £5.76 plus a couple of quid postage when I stopped looking...

You need to run a tap into the thread and get it cleaned out ideally
