Topic: Can anyone point me in the right direction to for OEM/Replacement Parts.........

[Johnny-5]

Im looking for a shop locally in Northern California (Eastbay Area) with reasonable pricing and that can get 70's Replacement parts?

Also if anyone knows of a place online where I can purchase parts for less would be even better. Im currently looking for parts for a 82 CB650 but also got a few other models as well.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Johnny,

In the FAQ section, there are sections for "good guys" and "bad guys".  That'll prolly give ya some ideas on parts sources.

I was in there earlier and cant find "good guys" and "bad guys"

Local shops often don't like to mess with older bikes. Often the bikes were made before the counter sales person was born. A few exceptions.

I'm liking www.motogrid.com. Delivery is a little slow, 7 to 10 days, and I'm close. I think they batch their orders for shipment. offset by lower prices. www.bikebandit.com is faster and more expensive.

Look in the vertical banner section to the right of these posts and click on some links.

I used to rock HondaParts-Direct.com for just amazing prices on OEM parts, I think I have spent over $1000 with them? but I guess they are kaput now, unfortunately. . .

Honda Direct Line seems to be just as good? (killer prices - only one order with them, so far, though)

Thanks....Those links were a great help! Ill give those two a try.

Yeah, I have yet to see cheaper, actually - plus, I love their interface. It's exactly like Honda Parts Direct was, with the blow-up parts diagrams and everything (that I often paste here on the forums to show what we are discussing).

I would NOT recommend OBB, based on (many) users' negative experiences here on SOHC4.net.

Gee's with that much negative feed back you figured they would try to better themselves to keep business satisfaction high but guess not!

Old bike barn.com is very reasonable and pretty quick on shipping. Also try TAS Motorsports those guys are really helpful and very reasonable on their prices. Shipping is quick to and I believe it's free as well.

Again, I would definitely read those posts I supplied above, before dealing with Old Bike Barn. A bunch of people say they are UNreasonable and real SLOW on shipping. .. . lol, so I guess they are quite hit or miss?

Never had a problem with old bike barn... very reliable, but I also use bike bandit, normally cheaper than OBB, although they do not carry as many OEM parts for my model 77 CB750F2, as does old bike barn.
I also use a place in Cincinnati, it is a Honda dealer but has a separate parts department for Vintage Honda Parts! (Western Hills Honda, Cincinnati Ohio), But my favorite is a motorcycle junk yard right down the street from me, it has tons of old Honda's all over the place.

[Johnny-5]

Hook a brother up! See if that junk yard has parts for me if you dont mind!! :p

I just placed a small order with Direct Line.  The shipping is only $7.50.  They probably get the OEM parts from a whse and don't stock themselvers.  I ordered last Tuesday and they shipped yesterday - not too bad.  I think the discount over list was 15% or so.

Yeah, they are awesome - I have a whole list of new stuff I need to get. The last time I ordered, it was like Christmas when it all showed up - dozens and dozens of parts inside little happy red labeled clear bags with the Honda logo on them and nice, shiny, brand new set of CB400F handlebars. . . . .   yaaaaay!
