Side stand safety

Assuming you are looking for your 98 VFR, would this place and deal be any better at $47.64? Asking because I am curious if this place is a good source for parts. I might be able to use in future as well.

Serivce Honda shows more than one in stock at $48.70 (35700-MAT-305) That is all.

 

I've purchased quite a few times from Partzilla and so far never had any issues with them. I'd say if they have what you need and a price you like, go for it.

 

Bypass it, install gopro and let the games begin.

That is all.

 

I'm with Karazy, except for the GoPro part. :smug: I might spend $5 or $10 bucks to fix it, but I sure wouldn't spend over that. No sense in it.

Partzilla is a great place to get parts from. Excellent service all the way around. But I'd still pass on spending that much money for the switch.

 

Partzilla rocks.

Carry on

 

Yeah! Giving that much for a switch is tantamount to telling the manufacturer, parts supplier and dealer that you just enjoy being gouged ...

I'm gonna 3rd or 4th the bypass-ing of the offending switch. Had to do it to many a bike of mine in the past. Mainly not because of a faulty switch, but rather a less than new spring that would allow the stand to go just far enough to kill the bike, but not far enough to cause any other problems. Not fun whilst riding down the road.
