Finding Harley Davidson Parts Portland

By Brian Roberts


If you own a Harley bike, you will at some point need to buy spares to carry out repairs, or to make modifications. This can be a simple process with most machines and they are readily available for most of models. If you own a motorcycle you will need to locate Harley Davidson Parts portland to keep your motorcycle running well.

There are a couple of locations to look when you are trying to find spares for your motorbike. Locating items may often take a while sometimes they are unavailable and cannot be found at all. The first thing to do is take a decent quality picture of any spares you are searching for and this will allow you to compare it to the replacements on offer.

There are now many web based suppliers that specialize in Harley spares and other components. The online suppliers will have stocks of spares in for most of the modern machines and some older classic models. Their adverts will usually show a full color photograph of the item and a description with its purchase price and carriage costs.

Visiting a Harley dealer can also be a good idea when you are trying to locate genuine items. A lot of these dealers will have many bike parts in the store room and they will also be able to supply you with hard to find spares. If they can not, they may order them in for you, and contact you when they arrive.

A recycling yard is worth a visit as they will often have damaged or scrap bikes that you can take spares from. Hundreds of motorbikes are to be found in some compounds after being in accidents or breaking down beyond viable repair. Many of the scrap firms will strip the items from the bikes and keep them in a warehouse, but you can take some tools along just in case.

A bike owners club or Harley associations are also useful when trying to find parts. Many club members will trade their unwanted spares and if you are also member you may benefit from discount. Some of the clubs will have a web site so sending a short email with your requirements will often produce good results.

When you have purchased your spares and fitted them to the bike it can be worth keeping the old one if it can be refurbished. The parts can then be sold on to another biker or you can keep them in your garage in case they are needed in the future. When you recondition any items such as fuel tanks and brake components, it is a good idea to have them inspected for safe operation.

When you fit a replacement item to your motorbike it is always worth using a genuine one if possible. Many aftermarket spares are available and they will function as good as an original but fitting these will affect the value of a bike. A show club and other organizations will not usually accept an entry of a non standard bike into competition or their other club events.
