No matter the hobby, there are usually a few online vendors that are the ones to go to... and a hundred more to avoid. I'm new to the motorcycle world and ask for a quick jumpstart on who to check out first for OEM and new/used replacement parts.

BTW, trying to get an old '87 Hurricane running by spring.

 

I tend to use ronayers.com or bikebandit.com for OEM parts if I don't need them quick. For quick, I go to the Honda shop, but have to pay the premium price!

I have found Bike Bandit is cheaper than Ron Ayers if you have a discount code (like AMA member).

 

there are quite a few good ones out there. With the internet, most of the really bad places don't last long since word gets out pretty quick. But keep in mind, your probably not going to get all of your parts from the same place.

If I were you, I'd post in the hurricane section of this forum. Those guys probably know the best place to get parts for that particular bike, as it may be hard to find parts for that bike.

I've used chaparral and Kneedraggers with good luck. Even 58cycle has been good. I don't know how their prices compare though, but experiences were good with a timely delivery. However, I almost always check ebay first for just about everything. If I can't find a good deal on it, then I go to retail outlets.

the best place I have found for tires though is www.sportbiketrackgear.com

They have other things too, but i've only ordered tires.

 

oem - https://cbrforum.com/forum/showpost....85&postcount=5
used - eBay

 

Definatly bike bandits, cheap and has the helpfull manual things gotten parts for all kinds of things from them

 

I've used Kneedraggers. Their shipping service is good enough.

 

I always do a Google seach to find the lowest price, including any tax and shipping. However, Motorcycle Superstore gets a lot of my business. In addition to usually having very low prices they have an excellent return policy. They claim "lowest price guaranteed", although I've taken them up on that claim before and it is not always true.
