Used Parts question

[Hazenson]

Im lookin for parts and watching e-bay close. But ill prolly be buying parts and painting them to match the color I want. I was thinking that most parts for a second gen are interchangable. Is this true? and is it true from 1999 thru 2009? So if I find a front cowl (looking for both pieces) would any year from 99 thru 09 fit my 2000? These parts are $900 to $1100 from the dealer. If i can find them used and paint em I could save some money.

Yes, they are all interchangeable.

It's about damn time you showed back up

Where have you been!!

 

BTW: Let me know if I can help you with any of the rebuild, and hello to Yacker too

Check on ebay for a PINWALL CYCLES as the seller. They salvage bikes and if you contact them or check their site you will find what you need. Here is the web address for them. I have bought several items there at decent price.

Yes, I've bought a few things from Pinwall and they have always been great. I've also been to their retail store a couple of times, very impressive. All parts and parts bikes that have not yet been torn down are stored indoors.

You can save a lot of money and effort if you dont have to repaint......

After my mishap in November I had to buy a new "right side" cowling to replace the cracked one. I got it new for $187 and it came with a finished paint in black. I think I got it from Cruiser Customs but not sure because I bought a few items from different places. I'll check my reciepts and post when I get home.

$217 at this site.

Painting is still cheaper than dealer but you might get lucky and find the right color.

Well Squidley, after the accident, I was lost man. To be honest I waited a long time to ride again and waited even longer to get the bike I wanted. You know how I was with this bike hehe she was my baby. And wife and I had so many plans that just went south and we knew wasnt gonna happen. So I kinda fell off the riding plane for awhile and concintrated on work.

Sure is good to know I got friends here, and I am glad to be back among friends. Thank you all for the posts here, after searching the internet for a couple days I wasnt finding much, but now I have some new web sites to go look at thanks to all your posts. I may even buy a complete bike if I can find one at a decent price, The big pieces if bought new are gonna run 3 k at minimum so thinking may be better to go that route.
