Here is my new remote location. Works great. It takes a little extra concentration to take pictures and jam in the twisties at the same time, but the hand position feels safe.

Ah yes....fresh motor and lots of fun. My slash five became a new machine to me when I discovered what it was like over 5,000 rpms.

I just tried his site and then a bit of googling and it looks like he's out of busienes.
Atelier Motrne was the business name and his name was Xavier Parent.
I hope he resurfaces as he had some real neat stuff, although it was exensive.
Thanks for the info (a day late and a dollar short) Nice picture too!

True, but a way different thread pitch BMW is 10x 1.5mm, the Japanese mirrors were mostly 10x 1.25mm.
Try McMaster Carr, Bolt Depot etc.
