    650 parts

    I keep seeing after market parts for 450s, 750, 1Ks etc. but they almost always lack the 650. Is the 650 so different or are they just not listed because they aren't as plentiful?

    I'm not looking for anything in particular at the moment, just curious in case something comes up on sale or a parts bike shows up.

    Ebay has zillions of parts for 650's- lots of parts shared, some just for 650 shafties. It gets confusing and you can't expect ebay sellers to know all. For instance, the shafties shared starter motor with 300 and 450,while the "E" shared the 550 starter.

      Yea...ebay. I know it's not terrible but it's not exactly my favorite place to go shopping for new parts. Used, sure, but new I'd rather get else where if possible first. Of course I'll go OEM where I can/makes sense.

        Some parts for 32 year old 650's would be nowhere to be found new- or worse they might be inferior quality. Thanks to ebay strippers, I have good stock of spares. I like insurance . Price some parts new (especially from dealers) and you might look favorably on used stuff- lots of these bikes got knocked out of service before their time.
