Since I am a rookie to his old bike love affair I have been getting some help on my Kawi 500 rebuild.

So if you have helpful links please add them here. I will collect them and organize as a resource.

Lots of old Japanese parts.

I'm restoring a 1968 CL350 and also have a 1965 Dream CA77.

The CL is a new project and I've recently ordered parts from:

Common Motor Collective - They have an easy to navigate site that provides reasons for why you might want to upgrade a part - great for someone like me who doesn't know much (but I'm trying to learn).

Charlie's Place- The Dyna coil kit was a bit expensive, but the brackets are nicely machined and it was a really easy plug and play replacement.

Power Barn - Although quite a few places sell the Mikuni VM30 carb kit, Power Barn also has an option to upgrade to a Motion Pro throttle cable (with gray cable housing). Still don't have the bike running, so we'll see how much we need to tinker with the jetting.

Honda Keys.com - The CL was missing a key, but had the original ignition, so I was able to use the code to get new keys made.

For the Dream, I've ordered parts from Ohio Cycle.. They don't have online ordering, you have to print a form and actually mail it with a check or money order, but he's got a lot of parts for vintage Hondas.

If you need Honda parts for DOHC CB750f ,900f, or 1100f go to www.cb1100f.net and post in the for sale/wanted forum. You will get immediate attention, and you can find almost any part you need in varying condition and pricing.

Web Bike japan is also a good recourse for hard to find items for all 70' and 80's Japanese bikes.

If you want something fabricated, or you want to fit something modern on your old bike check out Jim Satell's shop. https://www.facebook.com/JESBUILTMotorcycles/

happy hunting
 
If your looking for fiche (parts pages) for older Japanese bikes I use Ronnie's all the time.

Honda parts back to '77.
Yamaha parts back to '63
Suzuki parts back to '73
Kawasaki parts back to '84
KTM parts back to '94

Click on the "Buy OEM Parts" tab and follow your make/model to the fiche pages.

If the part your looking for does not have a price it is obsolete and unavailable.

The part number will be shown and can be used in Google to try to find the part(s).

Fabulous! I lived and died by the fiche when I worked parts back in mumble mumble mumble-dy mumble. It was gollee gee whiz at the time. Thanks for the linkie. Stay safe, bro.

Lovely thread, budman. Go for a ride.
 
There are better choices for some of the older Japanese :
Kawasaki back to 1966 . The Kawasaki.com site
https://www.kawasaki.com/parts?cm_re=GLOBALNAV-_-OWNERCENTER-_-PARTS

Honda to 1959:

Everyone may be aware, but for those not. BikeBandit.com should be used with caution for older bike parts. They scramble the original part number number to their part number so there's no way to verify the part. Even if the part is discontinued they will process the order as normal, then a couple days later you get the news that it's NLA.
