    ridenow was very limited, and only had (1) (small) bike listing for '84, maybe its that scooter of yours ratvespa, and motogrid hasn't been the cheapest.
    The best so far is cheapcycleparts.
    Thanks

    Default Z 1 Enterprises

    Did you try Z 1 Enterprises? I have found their prices very reasonable. Their site easy to navigate. You can call or order on line.

    Great lead, thanks. Wish I had found them before buying at APE & going to the dealers this afternoon.
    I'm sure I'll have more to buy.

    Droptail, just check the first Sticky thread in the vintage section. It has a listing of several sites that might suite your needs.

    +1 for Z1 Enterprises.

    You might also want to try our forum sponsor, as well.

    BTW, can you post a pic of the CBX you mention in your sig? I know this is a Kawi forum, but I've always wanted a CBX. Twice I have turned a CBX down in favor of a Kawi, will probably always kind of regret those decisions.

    Z1 had great pricing, thanks. Idiot dealer had different shim pricing based on size, do you believe that BS?
    Got back from the Rock Store with the CBX a little while ago. Always gets alot of looks there. Its quite modded, and hauls ***.

    Sweet CBX! The second one I turned down was black with red pinstriping. Believe that was a factory paint scheme. However, the dealer did not have the stock pipes, and at the time I believed I needed to have the stock pipes to get the bike road legal in Japan (was getting transferred there with the USN). So, I got my Z-1 instead. Turns out to be entirely moot. Not only did I end up getting a Harley which I took with me to Japan, but once there I found out the laws had changed due to US trade pressure, and aftermarket parts were now legal in Japan for vehicle inspection.

    Oh well, maybe one of these days...

    Hey droptail, see a black and red CB1100F with a CB1100R tank up there? That's my friend Ray.
