Tried this in SOHC/4 forum.. let's try here. Jacksonville parts shops?
« on: October 06, 2017, 07:59:39 AM »
Canuck down in Jacksonville FL for work. Any place around here I should go to check out custom parts/spare parts for my 78 550? Specifically I’m looking for little headlight LED button to replace the cheap Chinese one that stopped working, and maybe a kill switch. And just any cool bike shops.

Where I'm from, custom shops where I can pick up things like I've mentioned are non-existent, so any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.  Figured some folks in this forum may know...

cheers!

for those wondering if this belongs here... it is to work on my ongoing project, Lucy and get her to her deserved pristine condition! :)

I can't think of any in Jacksonville. Perhaps closer to Daytona, or the West Coast (St Pete). There is a JP Cycles a bit farther north up I-95 but mostly their stuff is Chinese junk  :(

I could probably make my way out to Daytona Beach at some point if you have suggestions there.  I'd even be open to Chinese junk :D  I was hoping to find some cool shops where I could sort of wander and peruse, dream of ideas for the bike if that makes sense.  Plus get those items I originally mentioned if they're cheap.

Well, if you are up for a bit of a drive, you might prefer this place:
http://www.acecafeusa.com
Its in Orlando, and is the US presence of the famous UK Ace Cafe. I'll be in Fort Lauderdale for the next 2 weeks for business, so if you really want to spend a couple of hours in the car....  ;)

Oh geeze!  That's funny I thought it was a bike shop named after the cafe, took me a bit to realize it was a cafe haha.  Ft Lauderdale would be my pleasure but I just checked at it's a 5 hour drive or so... given that I'm here to fly for the Air Force that is just gonna put my fatigue a bit over the edge!

Know of any other shops where I can get cool parts and such? Wish I was close enough to meet for a coffee :)
