'91 VFR getting too old? Hard to get parts?

I love my '91, which only has 53k on it and has been a totally great bike, but I wonder if I am getting to the point where I will have difficulty finding mechanics who can work on it, and especially parts for it. A couple of years ago I had a hard time finding radiator hoses and I wonder what is next. Any thoughts on this? BTW, I don't and don't want to work on it myself. I am in Chicago if that matters.

Thanks

 

It does matter if you are in Chicago. Of the several places one can buy parts for your 91, pick one that has either free shipping or shipping based on mileage.

One good source IMO:1991 Honda VFR750F INTERCEPTOR Parts, 1991 Honda VFR750F INTERCEPTOR OEM Parts - BikeBandit.com



Many many private mechanics out there who can work on your bike. Less overhead than dealers.

What needs done is to hit your local "bike night" and ask questions.

Gotta say too, the real "wrenches" on this BB are probably scratching thier heads a little.

 

I would never give up my third gen... would you?

Buy a hayne's manual and take up your own maintenace

 

Another option is to donate the bike to Tink and me :tongue:

Rollin

 

From water hoses to hosing in general..LOL

 

Lots of shops (dealershhips as well as smaller shops) have rules about taking on a bike thats older than ten years. I have seen 2008 models that are so trashed and dirty my 20 year old bike on its worst day was clean compared to them!

I would fight someone to the deth for my Third Gen Bike. Nuff Said :smile:

Older stuff is better than the current stuff IMHO
