I bought an 06 Honda Cbr rr (Its orange with tribal) from a friend. My friend that i bought it from was coming into a corner when he hit loose gravel the back wheel broke loose and he went off the road and into some trees. The front upper fairing was damaged and it caught the right handlebar and the back wheel hit another tree. So i need to know where the best prices are for the back wheel and the upper fairing. I already tried ebay but i just dont know about trusting a wheel from ebay. anyways any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

well if you dont want to use ebay then you made a big mistake in buying a crashed bike!

 

+1 on ebay, eBay is your bestfriend, remember they have buyer protection ****, so if the auction is not what it said it was, then they will help you out in resolving it if the seller does not take care of it. for the most part 99% of sellers on ebay are legit and take care of business, just check their feeback...thats why it is there.

eBay is your BEST option to get parts WAY cheaper than yo could get new, and most of them are LIKE NEW anyways.

 

Well thanks for the advice guys. Do you have any past personal experience with ebay as far as bike parts go? I will give ebay a shot i just dont want the wheel falling apart when im going down the road.

 

i bought an upper, tail, headlight, zero gravity db, mirrors, tank, triple cover, left handle bar switch pod and brake cap all from ebay and really didnt have a problem. just ask questions to the buyer and get more pictures if you need them. Also when you look at pictures compare them to pictures of new parts and make sure it looks good and nothing is missing or off. Finally, make sure you dont get caught in a bidding war. Set your highest price with yourself and stick with it especially if youre trying to snipe.


Of course always read feedback

 

yes, just do your research on the seller and you will be good to go! And hopefully you have highspeed internet because you will need it when it comes down to 10 seconds left in bidding.. (i wait till 5 secs)

 

+1 on the bidding....i have ordered tons of stuff off there and saved hundreds, starter($30), stator($30), solenoid($30), rr tail($18), rr seats($30), f3 fender($25), f4 pegs($70), rr tail light($7), (2) F1 fenders($30), if you know how much OEM parts cost, then you know how much i saved by purchasing on ebay. just do what the other guys said and look at pictures and research what you need, most of my parts were not mechanical either. but the better part about ebay is that say for example you need a rear fender/license mount, new from dealer you will pay $50-100 just for the fender, off ebay you will more than likely get the fender and everything that was attached to it...license mounts, license light, tail light, signals, seat mounts, etc. So you more than often always get a really good deal on ebay. just watch out for snipers...people who wait til the last second to bid...they also have programs for this now as well. Good luck.
