I have written a few Hubs now on Restoring Vintage Japanese Motorcycles. I would now like to share some amazing Online Spare Parts Sites that have arrived on E Bay. These parts have been very rare and almost impossible to get and now you can buy an amazing range of 1950's 1960's and 1970,s spare parts at very cheap prices.
Take for example the products shown in the Pictures, not only have these parts been impossible to find in the past if you did find them you would pay an arm and a leg. All of these items are new!!!!!!
The parts are truly comprehensive from complete wheel and spoke sets to Mufflers, Shockers, Seats, Ignitions, Wiring Looms, Body Panels, Gaskets, Pistons, Rings, Con Rods, Rubber Grips, Badges, Decals, Lights, Indicators, Switches...the list goes on.
It is fair to say that there are more Honda Parts than Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha but the parts list seems to be growing rapidly. The availability of these parts makes owning and restoring Vintage Japanese bikes are real fun prospect. You can even add a few Bling accessories such as Chrome headlight surrounds to tart up your old bike.
I added a site called Virtual Village because I have found them to be a valuable source of alternative components such as Indicators, Switches, Lights, Brake switches, Indicator Relays and masses of other electronic stuff. These parts are great if you want to do a bit of customizing or simply want to get your bike working properly. Here you will save heaps of money on parts.
Here is a list of some of the best places I have found so far.

I'v used similar sites from Asia and yes, you can save on the parts but they are usually less in quality than OEM's.
In many cases the metal is thinner, threads a bit rougher, etc.
In one case, with so called OEM Honda lights I had to have collars machined to make them fit the bike.
I'd first try for good used on Ebay IMHO.
