Found parts, but can't get em?! MIKEXS yamaha only? Ugh?
« on: August 14, 2005, 09:25:50 AM »
Hi,

So, I found all the parts I needed at MikeXS, and I emailed asking if what the ratios on the tach/speedo are (need 2240:60 and 1:4), also needed some grips, LED taillights (1157 w/ dual contacts), mirrors, headlight bracket, and some fork boots 35mm. Stuff that was all on the webpage (except the gauge specs for the white face w/ LED idiot lights), but  I mentioned in my email that I needed it for a Honda 350F, therefore I got a return email saying "No honda Parts.  Try www.partsnmore.com Mikesxs " Baaaaaah....is there anyway around this? Does anyone know the exact parts from MIKEXS that I could use on this bike, so I can just order them pretending to need them for a Yamaha? Just when I thought I found the perfect place to order from, all from one vendor, free shipping, good prices! Bugga!

Thanks for the help!
-Kurt

Ya might saunter in to the Yamaha dealer or any other Friendly yamaha place.........

Then tell them your project bike (yamaha) came without the speedo/tach........

Then ask for the drive ratios....

Barring that I believe Dennis Kirk and Tucker Rocky both carry the same gauges, they might be more helpfull.
