I just got my first bike, 86 VN750, a month ago, and still need to buy a couple parts.
I've picked up a brake pedal and saddlebags on ebay, bought the MF battery (as suggested), but I still need a few things.
I called a local place I've been driving past for years and found out they only sell Harley parts. I've found the kawa part numbers of the stuff I need from buykawasaki.com, but I haven't found a decent place to actually purchase replacement parts. I seem to be finding places with aftermarket or non-stock replacement parts (like highway pegs, but I need the stock peg).
I need a front peg, looks like brake pads soon, front brake light switch, glove-box thing behind the sissy bar, and little things I'm sure I'm forgetting.
Is there a typical online place where I can order this kind of stuff? Or an auto parts chain type of place I can get lucky through?
This is my first experience with a motorcycle, and so far, I love it. I got an awesome deal because the owner was in a tight spot, and he couldn't get it started when I looked at it, and it needed a starter relay. I cleaned the tank, wirebrushed the contact surfaces of the button, wired in an automotive relay I had sitting around, and now have a great bike to learn/commute/have a lotta fun on.
