Time To Take Your Old Vintage Bike Out of the Barn

by William Sidney

Trying to find parts for vintage Japanese and European motorcycles can make the task of rebuilding or restoring one of these bikes practically impossible

NOS parts are often little more than universal-use electrical parts, while aftermarket supplies are limited to only the most popular motorcycles built at the time. The question becomes, then, where do you find new or better-condition parts for your rebuild project? If you’ve got two hundred salvage yards down the road, you might come close to the answer. Thankfully, though, your property values don’t have to suffer for you to rebuild that old motorcycle. The good folks at Old Bike Barn have found a way to streamline the process of scouring through junkyards nationwide by giving customers the option of utilizing their Virtual Parts Finder. The service provides you with the opportunity to have your parts request instantly submitted to Old Bike Barn’s nationwide network of over two hundred motorcycle salvage yards.  The form literally takes less than a minute to fill out, and offers a box in which you can input specific requests or additional information.  The response from the Virtual Parts Finder is quick and efficient, providing several options from which to choose.  Chances are, if you’re rebuilding a rare or single-year production motorcycle, perhaps even one that might have been popular, but didn’t survive much past the chopper-crazy seventies, than the Used Parts Lookup service is your best way to go about finding usable salvage parts.

Old Bike Barn prides itself in being the most user-friendly vintage motorcycle parts retailer on the internet, and it shows.  Rather than a detached, SUV-loving crew of computer techs, the family at Old Bike Barn are the kind of approachable, fun-loving bikers you’d be likely to find at your local cruise-in.  Ask a question, and the depth of experience you’ll find will give you the insight to complete your project, whether it’s your dad’s old late-sixties Honda restoration, or a custom café-racer.  Many of the parts you’ll be able to find on the Old Bike Barn site, particularly with the Virtual Parts Finder, aren’t to be found elsewhere on the internet, or are so outrageously priced, that they’ll make your head spin.  Old Bike Barn, and in particular Barrie Haughton, Old Bike Barn’s Founder & CEO, take a vested interest in keeping the classics running rather than rusting, and making it happen in a way that helps, rather than hinders, the people who love the classic bikes as much as the crew at OBB do.  They do this by offering the kind of low-overhead and rare parts that other retailers either don’t have the space or the desire to offer.  Looking for bodywork for a newer bike?  The folks at Old Bike Barn can find it for you through the Virtual Parts Finder, and at a substantially lower price than you’ll find anywhere else.
