1. JOE’S BIKE TEAM. Big bike service.
26/1 Soi 2 Chang Moi Rd. Tel: +66053251186
Probably the most reliable shop for big bike service in Chiang Mai. Run by German Joe.

OTHER BIKE SHOPS WITH PARTS & ACCESSORIES.
Limited accessories - tyres / brake pads / helmets / jackets / boots / levers / cables / chain & sprockets. Because of the small big bike market in Chiang Mai / North Thailand, none of the shops carry a big range of parts and accessories. If you want something they can usually get it fairly quickly form either Bangkok or Singapore.

2. SAMOTO

16 Mahidol Road. Tel: 01 8238361.

Sa also has a small range of accessories - boots / helmets / jackets / brake pads. Well worth checking out!

3. G3 BIKE SHOP
98/2 Taiwang Rd. T Chang Moi. Chiang Mai. Tel: 053-233600. 09-2621334.

Above: G3 not easy to find with a shop front like that & not exciting from the outside, but inside it is ok.

Good English spoken. Recommended for best deals on tyres & parts. Big bikes sold & traded.

4. BULL SHOP

44 Taiwang Road. Chiang Mai. Tel 097003370. 053874112.

6. FAST CORNER.
1st Floor Pantip Plaza. 152/1 Changklarn rd. Tel: 053 288088-9. www.fastcorner.co.th. Great for deals on Arai helmets - where I get mine from. If you're coming from Oz or Europe the helmet prices here are relatively cheap. My Doohan replica helmet only cost 17,500 baht. Check em out. Order from Bkk & they will deliver to the Cnx shop.

63/6 Kaew Nawarat Rd. Tel 053-306194. Mobile: 0866726865.

12. CHIANG MAI MOTOCROSS SHOP.

357 Moon Muang Rd. Tel: 017965991. Run By Naa, one of North Thailand’s leading M-X / Enduro riders.
A half decent range of dirt accessories. See pix below.
GT Rider Mark Rosi

probably North Thai's best M-X / Enduro rider also lives here. Swing by if you want a serious dirt competition bike, or want to race in Thailands M-X / Enduro races.

15. LEATHER SHOP

Dawood Leather Craft
44 Sri Dornchai Road.
Chiang Mai.
Tel: 0818823709 & 0819938682.
Email: <dawoodic>

A smart new shop with belts, vests, bags, saddle bags & jackets.
Mainly geared towards the custom / cruiser / Harley set, but well worth checking out.

The jacket pictured above quoted cost 9,000 baht.

But I note that he’s got the real thing - a heavy duty leather sewing machine - so my guess is that he should be able to repair / stitch up anything. If you need some leather repairs then this guy should be able to do it.

16. RED ROAD

Tel: 053904605.
Mobile: 08118843182 & 08112875527
Is a small big bike shop on the corner of Mahidol & Thippanent roads, inside the super highway, diagonally opposite airport plaza.

Thanks to everyone as I actually found the shop this afternoon.Probably my fault as was expecting a leather/boot shop rather than a open frontage type shop with no displays........Silly me.
Cheers
