Default Ebay Parts Shopping Sucks!

I can't find jack sh_t for my F2 on ebay. It seems no one else has a problem.Am I missing something? I just go theough the categories; Ebay Motors, Parts and Accessories, Motorcycle Parts, Asian, then I search F2. There has to be more out there...

I know that I have a front fender for an F2, just bug some people here with some wanted threads and I'm sure that you will be able to find your parts.

new to ebay??? do not make the search in a spacifc catogory becaous other not so smart sellers place items in othere places. so just go to the main page and do a search like this

cbr f2 (plastic,fairing,body work,tail,Cowling,body kit,)

and in the () what u want.

like so

you just have to keep looking. there are not parts always on there, i was looking for an f2 front fender and there would only be 1 maybe 2 on there at one time, and sometimes none. just keep looking and refining your search with other things like james has suggested. it is also good to check here and other cbr forums as there is an abundance of parts available.

what are you looking for specifically? remember, f2 being an older bike, there will not be as much available as newer bikes.

+1 its and auction site. People put millions of parts on there daily you just have to watch is and see if anything you need pops up.

I just put Honda F2 in the search box on the main eBay, and I filter through the crap I'm not interested in. You should get 7 or 8 pages of stuff.

Does this look like a decent front upper?

Sharkskinz has one for 214 + ship, but they even say it's not a perfect fit.

EDIT: Tinyurls peoples...

Here is what I found:

Windscreens
Upper Stay
Rear Fender
Fairings

Make sure you pay attention to the eBay stores at the bottom after the actual auction listings. They are often more expensive, but sometimes they have what you need.

As for the fuel tank mount and the lower stays, you will probably need to order those from Honda; unless you get lucky and find them on ebay, just gotta keep looking. A good technique is to find sellers that are parting out an F2 then message them for the little parts you need.

To get OEM parts, I go to http://www.mrcycles.com and use their microfiche parts finder, get the part number, then go to http://www.servicehonda.com/parts.php and enter the part number for a cheaper price.
