Hello every Berg'ers out there!
This will be my first post here and I will start by appologize if this post will be "yet another one of those...", but I've tried my luck using google and the forum search, and perhaps my searching skills isn't so good
But I recently became an owner to a FE450 -04. I actually got the bike for free because the previous owner got tired of it since it had been sitting in his garage for 4 years. The only downside is that it's not working properly (some trouble with water leaking in to the cylinder, but I'm unsure)
Anyhow, I started looking for spare parts and was surprised on how hard it was finding the parts I need.
Now I have found a few good dealers (but I'm still trying to cut down on price), but I was thinking on one thing that I have to ask/discuss.
Accordingly to me a KTM bike is [sadly] more recognized and widely known than a 'Berg, but they are "the same" company now a days. And what I have heard is that many parts are the same between KTM and Husaberg bikes.
Is there any list that specifies which parts that are exchangeable between brands? I mean, if a dealer list a plastic kit/gear-lever etc. to KTM but not for Husaberg, I want to be able to know that I can buy the one for KTM and still be able to fit it to my 'Berg bike.
Has this topic been up before perhaps?
I hope I can make myself clear, It's all very clear inside my head, but I feel I might have been a bit confusing writing it down :?
And oh yeah, english is not my mother tongue, so please excuse any bad grammar and spelling...
Best regards
Fredrik
