Here's my story.  This will give you some insight into what I might have and what I probably don't.  I will answer all requests though so e-mail me if you have any questions. My first bike was a BSA when I was 16.  I have nothing for BSA's or anything British.  When I was 17 I bought a brand new 1972 Kawasaki F9 350 for $850.00.  A few years later I got what I think was called a F81M Kawasaki.  I think I have a few scattered parts around for these.  After that I bought a new 1975 CR125 and started racing.   For the next few years I accumulated some Honda parts.  I started working at the Honda dealer and worked there for a year and got laid off.  I opened my first shop in 1976 just selling parts.  It lasted a year.  I bought a 77 RM125 and went to work for the Suzuki dealer.  The next year the Honda dealer bought out the Suzuki dealer and I went back to work there.  I built an XL175 in a C&J Frame to race MX.  It had Fox Air Shox, Simon Forks, and a Powroll (spelling?) engine.  Although it was still under powered, I managed to get 2nd in the state on it.  Missed 1st by 2 points, darn.  It was fun to ride and race against the 2 strokes.  The next year I raced a PE175 and RM400.  After that I built a Knobby Shop XL350 and raced that for one year without much luck.  Mostly 4ths and 5ths. In 1980 I started a shop again, this time doing maintenance as well as selling parts.  I started with mostly dirt parts but got into street parts as well.  Most everything was aftermarket but I would order OEM parts for people as well.  In the beginning I didn't require a deposit (stupid) so I got stuck with a fair amount of OEM parts for the Big 4 Jap bikes.  I have a page with those numbers listed and continue to add to it as I find parts that were in boxes and un-cataloged.  I ran that shop until 1993 and then sold it to the guy who worked for me.  Unfortunately, he didn't want the motorcycle stuff.  I was ready to do something else so I told him I'd keep the stuff if he bought the power equipment end of it.  That's what happened and I took the motorcycle stuff and stuck it in storage..... so here I am trying to peddle it now.

I've got some spare parts around for the bikes I raced and/or built plus all of the other stuff that you accumulate over 13 years in business.  Lots of this stuff is not listed so feel free to ask.

I seem to be getting a lot of requests for 90's crotch rocket parts and unfortunately I don't have much in that line.  You guys must fall down a lot.

If you have any interest in a group of parts, like all of the Honda cables, or all of the Clymer manuals, etc., I am willing to accept offers on complete lots of parts.  I really want to get rid of this stuff so don't be bashful.

I hope to have some pictures soon so that this cover page isn't so boring.

I'm not in the motorcycle parts business anymore so if I don't have it, I can't get it. When a part is gone, it's gone. I'm really not involved too much with bikes anymore so I probably can't help you with a good source if I don't have it.  Sorry.  If you have any specific requests, e-mail me and I will be happy to respond.  So, are you ready to see what I've got?  Click here for an index  If you don't want to wait as I build this page and would like to just see the whole 22 page list, click here.  I am located in Wisconsin Rapids, WI.  I will take credit cards (it will say Wings on your statement), checks (with some delay to clear), or money orders.  I can ship anywhere but Canada and overseas is expensive.

Thanks, and keep checking back!
