blokes (and gals) a lot of water has gone under the bridge but about 2 years ago you blokes got me started with parts for the `Strom.
I had a ride on the 1000cc model and it changed me from sports bikes to Adventure bikes overnight. I am a biker and have been for a few decades and had the chance to make a few parts for my mate and his DL1000.
My boring day job is running Cymarc (a manufacturing Company - some of you blokes have visited.....) but I set up Cymarc Bike Parts 2 years ago along with the help of YOUR support and the help of Andy. I have some trick bits of kit (1 of 6 cutting edge laser profilers in the country) which I use for R&D and making single order bike parts - I have recently taken on a Lady who has served me loyally in the past to take the small business to the next level and to get back in touch with my `roots` - the blokes who helped me 2 years ago.
My wares then got the accolade of being noticed by you blokes and along with the help of Andy I actually got started making gear. Its still only a slightly commercial `focused obsession` (I have a day job) and its not however I love what I do, incredibly proud of my reputation and I am very proud of my gear. I don't `mass produce` or look to engineer cost out of stuff rather its all hand finished by me with love and I sell it for very fair prices.
I ride BMW adventure bikes (yeah I know, Sorry) but still have all the wherewithal to make stuff for the `Strom up to but excluding the very latest 2013 model so I do hope to have some stuff which will be well received. I have a small stock which the Lovely Lady by the name of Shelly will be listing for you to consider - prices are 20% lower than what they should be along with free delivery to UK based Strommers. I am well happy to make more gear for you blokes if you just tell me what you want - what I currently do is advertised on my site http://www.cymarcbikeparts.co.uk (http://www.cymarcbikeparts.co.uk)
Most importantly THANK YOU to all the people who said such kind things about my stuff and OH SO IMPORTANTLY a huge thank you to Andy - if it wasn`t for his help and recognition of something not the commercial norm then I simply wouldn`t have got started. I love my work and people tells me it shows and that's good enough for me!
So, to hopefully prove my credentials here is a post/link/photo from a while ago from kindly Strommers - please feel free to check its authenticity, you may recognise the couple of members, but please believe me - I`m not a faceless git trying to sell you stuff made by a Chinaman!

Welcome back!
Fellow Strommers, if you only bling one thing, replace the oe 'mesh' oil cooler cover with a Cymarc one, it's the dog's doodads!

Thanks pal - kind words barely deserved!
Yes, he`s right fella`s the OE one is nasty but FOR GODS SAKE be careful of the fastener removal - its an absolute pig.
You don't have to replace it with mine, if you simply replace it with anything from anywhere then feel free to ring me as if the fastener gets stuck its a bloody nightmare. I`m happy to talk you through my staged way of removal or if you are close come over to my place and I will do it for you.

Nice to hear from you again Cymarc - I too can honestly say that your stuff is very well made and fits perfectly, AND looks really good - when the poor beastie has had a good clean I'll pop some images up.

Hiya Piglumps, hope you are well.

Welcome back (nearly everyone comes back) :)
What you like at fork braces ? (Hint Hint) :fix:
-
ah welcome back
I did pop by once and missed you
Not yet got round to getting some items - they are on my to do list
Also I would second the fork brace request...

sorry I missed you - when not on sticks I`m a fiendishly busy person.
Fork brace eh?
I`m going to put a post on the main board asking for anyone near and kind enough to help me design stuff you blokes want!
best regards and please ride safely

There's quite a few of us around so let us know :)

Marc, I can send you my fork brace so you can get measurements from it, my bike is in bits at the moment anyway. Either that or I can take you some measurements of the brace and the measurements of the fork lowers too. I have a K5 Wee, to my knowledge the forks on all the 650 models are the same. Just drop me a PM if you're interested.

Done it!
