Karen recently had hers done at Race replica and is happy with the service, they're in Brooklyn so not close, shitloads closer than Brighton Kwaka or Mornington though.
Suggest (in case you were thinking about it) you give Cosway and Floyd parkes a wide berth as far as servicing goes.

I actually recommended Race Replica to Karen. I am the fussiest person ever when it comes my bike and only trust Rhys to touch it. Cosways are in the city and thats where i bought the 12.. Wont say anything else.

Mate ppl here will give recommendations till they come out of their arse but honestly, if you're that friggin lazy you can't type Mick Hone into whitepages.com.au and get the number yourself then you probably should be catching the bus or something.
Might seem a bit harsh but ffs this is the issue I have with my flatmate currently, he does fuck all for himself...
Here endeth the rant.

Tip one dont take it to greensbourough motor cycles
even though race replica is a fair way away they will give you a loan bike
