Motorcycle question.

**hadji** · 07-22-08, 12:24 PM

Looking for a reputable place to buy a new regulator/rectifier for my 07 CBR600RR. OEM is over $200, which seems a bit much. I found a site with an after market for just over $100, but the site seemed a little shady. Otherwise, it seems finding parts can be a bit of a pain in the ass.

Thanks.

I really dnt know what to tell ya man.. I would prolly go for the aftermarket savings because I don't have a lot of money.. Now if it was a part that meant your life.. pay the money. ( aka brakes/tires/etc)

It's not a question of after market or not, it's a where to buy question.

just go with what you feel is best... like the size of the company... maybe look up reviews up the company if your not sure.

Hey hadji, you need a local warranty so try Metro Motorsports. 61st Av and Bell RD You probably won't care for their disposition but they should have the part.

I already have access to buy the part from a dealer.  Don't want to buy OEM.  It's like double the price.  Just hoping someone could provide a reputable vendor I could buy from online.  After market is much cheaper.

And I never go to Metro Motorsports now that I know about Cycle Gear.  Not only is it a whole lot close to where I live, but the place is excellent.  If I need a dealership for things, I go to my dealer, Apache.  Never Metro or its sisters.

Ebay son...thats where i got all my replacement parts unless they were dealer priced...

Yea, Metro is so over priced it's rediculous.. I hate that place with a deep deep passion for many other reasons as well.... Put up a craigslist ad for the time being, ya never know who has it just sitting around taking up space...

Checked ebay again, but used different spacing on CBR, 600, RR, etc. Found a used one for about $70. Beats $230. Just hope no issues. There was a cheaper one, but these guys have a return policy.
