Motorcycle Accessories. Got my first set of textiles from there.

Hein Gericke are also more than worth a punt.

John Carr Motorcycles in Alfreton. Stock a good range of helmets and gear. Plus, you get to have a look round their bikes too. Thumbs Up

Only one I know of is Castledines in South Wigston ... which now I look it up again on Gmaps is on the wrong side of Leicester (B582) for the area you're thinking of.

Been a while since I was in - got a flat after taking my Mod 1 in the area and they were obviously the closest place to limp to - but they seemed like alright guys. Small but decently stocked. Was actually in two minds whilst in there about replacing my Lidl shitlid with something they had on offer but wallet still said no.

Maybe a desperation gambit if you don't just end up ordering online?
