My M985 XTR Shadow Plus Rear Mech got attacked by a branch tonight and snapped the lower part of the cage clean off.
Any of you good folks know if i can buy spares?
I only need a cage and don't want to fork out for another complete derailleur.
Try Petra Cycles.
Although looking at their site [url= http://www.petracycles.co.uk/shimano-spares-rdm985-outer-plate-assembly-gs-type-plateassy-p-89742.html ]this GS plate[/url] is £55, so it's going to work out at £110 for two.
Edit : Nope - £11 for the [url= http://www.petracycles.co.uk/shimano-xtr-rd-m980-inner-plate-gs-type-p-78811.html ]back plate[/url]

Check these guys out - I had a similar issue on an M970 rapid rise. Delivered next day, cheap, bling and superb quality. I think the part was £20 in carbon fibre or £50 for an OEM bit.
Cheers fizzicist, i'm liking the £20 price tag too.
Yeah - fibre lyte are a bit less eye watering than the Shimano bits.
I must have whacked my xtr rear mech as the outer cage is splitting. I found Fibre Lyte while looking for replacement options. It's holding out at the moment though so I haven't bothered (will probably come to bite me in the ass).
