said by neonhomer: The only thing I have found about older metric bikes is they are sometimes hard to find certain parts for. For example, I have a 86 Honda that the fuel petcock leaks on when you shut it off. The part is no longer available, and I have had my local dealer search all over the US and Japan for one.
What model Honda? Have you tried the microfiche at sites like Ronnies, Ron Ayers or Bike Bandit? My '93 GSX-R750 is hard to find parts for as well, and my dealer has been of limited help. But I can usually do OK with the sites that carry the OEM microfiche. I ordered my ignition coils through ronnies. They had to get new old stock from a warehouse in Japan. I cannot help you any with the high prices though, rare foreign parts seem to be worth their weight in gold.
