Ohio cycle
« on: November 04, 2011, 01:29:05 PM »
I'm not ready to put this on "Good Sellers" yet, am doing some biz with them, So once i complete my purchase I'll report back.
But I'm semi excited about this so I thought i would pass it on.

Website: OhioCycle.com  He has parts that have been discontinued as he buys up NOS caches, and also has repros of NA parts.

I'm getting the clutch cable adjuster from him, he has reproductions of part of it and NOS for the other. i had ordered them from Motogrid and got the word they were NA. I have several used ones but the chrome is poor and i am...a chrome whore.

I had been looking for the 3 ball/retainer part of the clutch lifter, also a NA part. he has them! had already bought a low mileage unit from ebay, but just saying...

Undoubtedly many of you know about him. But its news to me. I googled the words "CB750 clutch cable adjuster" and he was in the mix.

Is this the guy in Wellington?  I've not ordered from him before, but was interested in a few items for a CB160 and a CB77 of mine.  I was always a little weary as he does not accept credit cards.  I know it's perfectly within his right, but it made me think twice before placing a large order.

Let me know how it goes.

Yes he is eccentric, no credit cards. cashiers checks and money orders only, pay in advance. The clutch cable adjuster i am ordering is the same part number as those found on the CB77, clutch and brake. I have a 68CB77 which will be my next project. So I'm ordering 3 altogether. I spoke with him personally and seemed like a really nice guy. But...

I read him the part numbers, and he told me the availability and price. At the end i asked how much i would owe him. He said he wasn't writing it down, that's my job.   :D   Print out an order form (pdf, non-fillable) from the site, fill it out, mail it in with the money order. His site has the catalog with part numbers and the bikes they fit. But it is not a shopping list, no shopping cart.  Eccentric.

But if he fulfills his part, seems like a really great source for NA parts. It says he's been doing it for 40 years, so he must be at least 60 years old. I kinda like old eccentric guys, that sound nice.   :)

I bought some NA parts several times from him.  Except for being a pain to check stock and get the shipping costs and then send an order form and a check, I've never had a problem and was very pleased.
