Yep +1 on coastal. angus has some nice custom spars.

Angus has the custom spars but I believe any P.L. dealer can order the aftermarket ones as well ?

Correct, to the best of my knowledge. Angus, Kent, and I'm sure others, can all acquire the standard PL spars. Personally, I'd go for the custom ones though.

Yes we can all get them from PL. Because of the many variations of sizes (about 40), I do not know of anyone that stocks them so they have to be ordered from the Netherlands. About $60-80 US retail and shipping is expensive unless you can time it to ride with a larger regular shipment.
I had grade 7075 Aluminum components custom made for me by Easton, a well known OEM supplier to the camping industry and military. I think the rounded solid end caps are a plus. Final weight of mine are about the same of similar originals.

As another option - especially for Canadians - you can get the rod sections from MEC for something like 3.00 each. They have 9mm and 11mm, get the 11mm. Never had a problem with them but you will need to cap the ends.
Angus's sound very nice

I'll probably be putting an order together in a few weeks and something can ride along with that order. If you don't find anything before then.

Angus' are the dogs bollocks - very pretty end caps too :D Those rubber things on the OE ones annoy me no end ... I'd love to replace all my spars with the Angus Elite Black Spar ...
