Hi, thanks for the welcome. The company that bought the bike tells me not to bring accessories. I have not asked in motorcycle suzuki chile, maybe there is my mistake. Upload a photo as soon as possible.
E-bay is an option, but I do not trust the product arrives. Internet goes a long way.
As for the Spanish site of "maruderos", also wrote and they said you should look for an importer here in Chile.
Anyway, today I answered from a UK company, and it looks like I'll be lucky.
Please write in English, the translator of google clarify my doubts. And will also continue to learn, anyway thanks to all who wrote in Spanish.
Thank you all, and I forget a detail, I am a "she".

The best thing you can do is to find a local retailer, even if they have to order parts. Also, you are not limited to only the Suzuki specific accessories. There are several "universal" options that will fit. (rear rack, saddlebag supports, sissy bar, grips, floorboards, etc.)

Anything that we find here will be expensive to ship or deliver to you.
Also, let us know how your search goes, so if anyone else comes along in the future we will know where to point them.

Welcome, and good luck with finding the parts you need.

Hi, Mavrix, thank's for the welcome, my bike is Black, and named "La Nonna"

Thanks for the tip Savrip.
I want to share with you the response I received from Suzuki Chile...
Suzuki Chile: "we work only with U.S. imports. We look at Suzuki USA, which are those that have original accessories and accessories do not make you ask us, so we are in the same situation".

Someone of you I can verify if the information given by Suzuki Chile is true?

Suzuki USA doesn't have for sale the original accesories for the motorcycles they sales in your country?, i found that hard to believe.
Thank's for your comments.

**jonathan180iq** · 08-26-2011, 12:22 PM

Of course they have original accessories.

Those guys are lying or they aren't asking the right questions.

They probably have to be requested form the factory, as most places don't hold them in stock. But it is easy to get them. However, please remember that factory accessories are grossly overprices and many universal or aftermarket accessories work just as well.

Maybe tell us exactly what you are looking for and we can find you a respectable replacement.

Welcome to the forum Pola, we have a good friend from Chile, she lives in The Netherlands (where I'm from originally) and visited us last year.
