    Dear nobby,

    Welcome to the forum and keen to hear more about this bike. Armed with what HB just sleuthed, you can now dig into this forum via search and see what you can find. There's a lot of posts on the Galaxies, though I don't remember whether anyone has posted on a 125cc model.

    So post up some pix and describe your specific concerns and needs and I expect you'll learn a lot. Better yet, as you master your own bike you can a source of hands-on expertise on your SMC/Galaxy, which will benefit others.

    Tell us about the bike. How does it ride? What's good? What's not?

    Cheers!

    hi nobby,
    which parts are you looking for if its brake components since the bike was based on a KTM 85SX you can change the brakes to the proper brembo's used on the KTM but these are expensive for the same brembo front caliper if you go to yamaha 125's you can get then allot cheaper for the same thing especially if its off a yamaha WR125/YZF R125

    a exhaust your looking pretty much at honda 125 designed exhausts
