Sorry to hear about your spill, NickyV. It’s good you’re OK.

Plus 1 on Babbitts , motorcycle dealer and parts house, based in Muskegon Mi .

'Sorry to hear about your spill - Unfortunately I can relate, but 0n a CB750.

After investigating, if parts piecing becomes ridiculous, I have a CB1100 practically New Old Stock available (For Sale) and then you could recover selling parts.

I've used babbittsonline.com a few times. They always seem to have the part and their shipping seems expedient.

Glad to hear the bike took the brunt of it.

Got it I'll check it out, thank you!! Yeah, def better the bike than me.

partzilla.com usually has a lot in stock or get stock quickly. I would steer clear of bikebandit.com. They will take your order and it will be weeks with no shipment or order update status.

I have had very good luck with Partzilla, and their prices are reasonable.

Will check them out, adding them to my list. Appreciate the help!

Sorry to hear about your spill!

+1 for Partzilla
Also check Revzilla - http://www.revzilla.com

I usually price each of these and see who's cheaper. I'll be checking valves soon, just priced a valve cover gasket at both sites, and Revzilla was a few bucks less.

Good luck!

Nice! I never even heard of Partzilla before and that's getting the most rec's. Appreciate it, luckily the bike took most of the damage.

As important as price is, don't forget about shipping - that can add 10-20% if you're not careful.

Also ask what happens if a part is backordered (out of stock at all warehouses) or cross-shipped from another warehouse - do they hold the parts until it's all in, and if not, do you get charged for shipping.


Lastly, get your best price, but give your local dealer a chance to see if they can match or come close. After all, there won't be any shipping if you pick it up, and if there's a problem with a part and it needs to be returned, there's no shipping charge. Plus it will save days, maybe more.

Hey!

Had a spill this past weekend, luckily I'm all good with nothing broken, just very sore. My bike went for a nice slide, bounce and slide.

So I have to replace pretty much everything on my handlebars, luckily brake reservoirs are not leaking and don't seem to have too much damage. But handlebars themselves, levers, speedo all need to be replaced. I had the engine protectors so those saved a bit of damage but the left cover on the engine did get worn down a bit and have a little leak now of oil, so it would prob be best for me to replace that as well.

So question is, what source do you guys use to get your parts? I've seen the big ones like JP and Revzilla but for the most part I haven't ordered bike parts up to this point. So reaching out to see what is recommended? I'll use this to make some improvements I suppose as I want to change out the handlebar position.

Thanks for any and all help!

If you post year and model, and the parts you need, maybe some forum members have what you need. And what is broken on the speedometer? That's a very expensive part.

That's a good note, appreciate the help! I actually got work done recently and couldn't find a honda dealer nearby so had a local shop work on it. So I'll reach out to them to see what they can do for pricing. Thanks again!

Ah, another good call. It's a 2013 CB1100. The whole speedo broke off and disintegrated pretty much. There is nothing salvageable on it.

Sorry to hear about your spill, NickyV. It’s good you’re OK.

Thank you! All good, luckily no broken bones, just a chest contusion and was extremely sore for a few days. Getting better each day but made it out well.

Sounds good, appreciate it! Yeah, I'm going to get a list together of everything I can see and see what I will land at.

Like me, as long as you walked away or are OK now, that is all that matters!

Speaking of which MTC:

You are completely recovered, and bike too? Like it never happened sort of speak?

No physical issues. My bike behaves somewhat differently, but that could be because of the Pirellis and/or the mileage. Nothing bad, really, but different.

I’ve found very good prices at http://carolinacycles.com. I called them to be sure that what I wanted was in stock then I ordered on line. Shipping was pretty quick!

So sorry... http://carolinacycle.com

After buying all the parts to restore the DLX, I used PartsFish. A little slow on some due to Honda being slow, but really nice people to call and work with. Ask for Martin.

Here is an update on my current parts list that I'll have to replace. The biggest ones are the instrument cluster and the headlight. I'm ok with going aftermarket, moreso with the headlight as I would like a bit of an upgrade on that. Any recommendations on speedometer? Seems like going OEM would be roughly $1200.

Other than those, here is the below..
-Rear Swingarm adjuster
-Foot steps
-Left Crankcase Cover
-Handlebar/levers
-Turn Signals
-Mirrors

Overall, not too bad and maybe a good time to make some small changes that I've been looking at. Biggest question comes into the speedo. When looking online, when sites say they are compatible. What should I look out for? I imagine they aren't necessarily plug-n-play, but that's just an assumption. Again, appreciate all the help from everyone!
