    Any issues with getting parts since the SMO began? I've wanted an ural for a while now (especially since I'm in a winter location and would keep riding in the winter but was sketchy on my normal bike) but that's something I've been curious about

      A few issues for large parts, less so for small ones. There are a couple fasteners on my bike that were sold out on the Ural store but I found the exact same part on the Home Depot website, lmao. Now that they're producing in Kazakhstan I expect what issues exist (ie getting replacement exhausts and gearboxes) to smooth out by next year.

      That plus the English-speaking Ural community's thirty years of slightly sketchy repair advice means I've never been frustrated for lack of parts.
