So where do all of you guys get parts? Since most of our trikes are 25+ years in age it isn't the easiest task as most oem parts are discontinued. I see people doing complete rebuilds. Where the heck do the parts come from? Are certain brands such as honda easier to get parts when compared to yamaha?

eBay, Here mostly, HondaOne (local Honda dealer) Watch the classifieds here often. Throughout the day I use my phone to check here, iPad and house computer. Addiction it is, but that's the only way to get the parts you need when they are posted.

Best way is to learn how to search for Discontinued parts. I bought out a old Honda dealer also a Book called Walnecks find it at 7-11 stores . In there is some Old dealers like Western Hills Honda . cmsnl.com and many more too. You also Need if you need a Part Search by Part # that is best way. You can Google that #. Parts can be found Just very hard work and Money too!!!!!!

I like bike bandit, but I usally go thru a local dirt bike shop in my town. I think he gets them from a dealer down state.

Bike Bandit, ebay, craigslist, where ever I can. Bike Bandit for stuff I'll need right away. Ebay and craigslist if I've got time to watch for deals. It's addicting though, for awhile I was buying parts/pieces that I haven't even broke yet! Always good to have spares ;)

Mostly eBay.... I find the part number from one of the online parts sites and then I enter it as a search. Here is a tip, be sure to check the Include Description box when searching for part numbers. Many times a seller will not put the part number in the title but they do have it there in the description.

I try to search locally for parts on craigslist, usually you can get a whole lot more parts than buying individual parts, picked up a whole parts trike for my YT175 for $53, and for $40 I am going to get almost an entire 200X in a box. I look on E-Bay but I have had bad luck buying used stuff on E-Bay. Most people however have good luck and really like it. I like my local aftermarket shop a lot, they are really good for most things and have great prices.
