Can anyone tell me where to find parts for a 1979 1000cc Harley Davidson Sportster? |
My husband is restoring a 79 sportster, but the shops around here don't work on them, and even through Harley Davidson, you can not get parts for a bike that old. We are looking for like a catalog that specializes in this year, or at least includes it, and i am not having much luck finding anything online. Please help us out, there is a lot of history in the bike we are restoring. Try these 2 links: http://www.denniskirk.com http://www.jpcycles.com Get a copy of any American bike magazine and look in the classified ads. I'm sure there are companies that have either new or used parts inventories for the bike you're seeking to restore. You might even try MotorCyclist Magazine, even though it primarily deals with metric bikes...you might have some luck there. I had to do the same for my bike, and found some good deals when I was fixing my motorcycle. Good luck. 13 years as a motorcycle owner. I don't know the answer, but I know where to get them. http://www.ironheadcycle.com or http://xlforum.net/vbportal/ the forum is very active and probably the best source of info for Ironheads out there. Ebay you can find all the parts you want, Freightliner Truck mechanic & 21 year rider I'm restoring one too. V-Twin Manufacturing is the best catalog to get, and you'll have to look around for a dealer in your area that represents them. (http://www.vtwinmfg.com/newvtwinweb/)... Only problem is, even though they show all the parts you need in the catalog, some of them are no longer manufactured. Another good resource is on Yahoo groups. There's a good group called XLFAMES. Web site is http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/xlfa... You can join and ask questions of others restoring old sportys and do some part swapping. Dont waste time with Dennis Kirk or the others. You may occaisionally get lucky, but the bike is really too old to find anything of value there, unless it also happens to fit newer bikes. |
