② [Maintenance & Repair] Is Working on Motorcycles Fun? Usable OEM Parts Adaptation

This is a popular sequel? Setting aside whether things are usable or not… keeping it in the back of your mind…
Oh! Now that you mention it! I’d be happy if you’d pull these out when you think of them.

  • This time we’re introducing eight items. Some are discontinued, but I think we might be able to find dead stock.
27004-1053 (27045-1052) Kawasaki Mirror-Integrated Kill/Start Switch (Discontinued)
Unfortunately discontinued… a kill/start/mirror holder combo switch.
I believe this is from the Kawasaki KL600/KLR650. The switch size is easy to handle, it comes with a mirror holder, and even has brake switch wiring routed to it.
This is the old part number.
This is the new part number.
Compatible mirror is M10-P1.25.
It’s the type that clamps through the handlebar.
It’s great that the brake switch wiring is included.
11381-07D00 GSX-R750RK Right Mag Engine Cover (Discontinued)
Connoisseurs recommend this instead of the Yoshimura cover! Isn’t it cool that the SUZUKI marking is on fewer of them?
32980-19D10 GSX-R750T Unit Cushion (Discontinued)
This is the cushion that used to hold the AS Uotani SP2 unit. I kept it secret for ages, but it’s finally discontinued… Even if I’d bought 100 of them, it would have been a waste, so I’m glad.
09494-00857 Jet, Needle, P-2 $2,000
When it comes to Mikuni, it’s usually MJN or Hypernozzle. Sure enough, there was a BST setting. Note that this is for large body carburetors.
61196-38G01   Guide, Rear Brake Hose $1.00
This is used for rear hose mounting on the Bandit 1200 K6.
It even has a rotation stopper—very nice.
The expanding clamp makes attachment and removal awesome.
44541-03F00   Cushion, Fuel Tank, Side $8.90
This is a frame damper for bikes like the GS1200SS. The price has gone up quite a bit… I was pretty surprised. I need to make sure I charge for it properly.
It has a structure where cable ties (zip ties) insert. It’s also perfect for air-cooled Z-series bikes.
Plus it has nice thick walls… you can use it for all sorts of things.
09321-10001 Cushion $1.10
It’s a pretty low-key part. It’s ideal when you’re mounting sheet metal to something or when sheet metal is vibrating and making contact. Cutting it to adjust thickness is also a good idea.
16628-27A00 Cushion $1.00 This is the oil cooler lower-side damper for oil-cooled bikes.
It’s a valuable shape that works sheet-to-sheet.
A truly well-thought-out damper.
The uses are endless… when you really understand and use dampers like this, the finish looks more OEM-like, I think. Repairs are possible even if damaged. I believe one motorcycle contains wonderful information.

For your reference.
