For many bikers, then the answer to that question is flat-out no. As much love as they have for their powerful machines, they just don’t want to pay double the dollar for OEM parts. This way of thinking is especially true for those who know that quality used bike parts are half the price, and function just as efficiently.

Here are the advantages of buying used second hand your motorcycle parts for your bike:

1) Save Money

The biggest advantage of buying used second-hand motorcycle parts is the much lower costs. If you’re a cost-conscious biker, or simply one on a budget, used bike parts will meet your needs. A used part is one that’s been removed from the bike with issues. Whatever problems the bike has, they’re not related to that particular part.

They are well-functioning parts that were tested before and after being removed from the bike. Each part is thoroughly cleaned and re-inspected for flaws and defects. Then, and only then, are they placed for resale? These parts are priced based on their complexities, supply on hand, and brand names, versus current market demand.

2) Perfect Fit

Buying used motorcycle parts gives you the confidence that the part will fit just right. Just think about it. If it fits before, it’ll fit again. Oftentimes, bike parts manufacturers make minor adjustments to various bike parts hoping to improve finish and fit. And, just as often, these changes cause other types of issues. One is getting them to fit on bikes manufactured before the part alterations were made.

3) Stay Vintage

Most people would like to keep their bikes as vintage as possible when doing restoration projects. It only makes sense. You take vintage parts off, so why not replace them with vintage parts as well? The only way to truly match the finish and veneer of a classic motorcycle part is to replace them with used motorcycle parts.

Used Motorcycle Parts

Original equipment manufacturer parts, or motorcycle parts, tend to be fairly expensive. Their popularity is driven by the fact that they’re generally perfect fits for motorcycle parts. This peace of mind comes at a hefty monetary cost, leaving riders to wonder if they’re really worth the extra bucks.

Why Should You Prefer Used Motorcycle Parts?

When motorcycle parts are damaged, we will have to pay a lot towards getting them repaired. The rate of motorcycle parts will be so high that we will not be able to afford them. When things are got done, we will be fed up with the rate closing to the motorcycle's current value that we paid towards it. It is here that we can go for used motorcycle parts for repairing them.

When using used motorcycle parts in place of new parts from the company, there are various advantages. The biggest advantage is the low rate incurred for the used motorcycle parts. The fresh products directly from the company will be expensive and using them for repair will finally make the repair charge too high. When it is used motorcycle parts, the rate will be far less as compared to the original product.

Another great advantage is the quality of used motorcycle parts. It is a false concept that used parts of motorcycles will be poor in quality. Used motorcycle parts will be used before and will have acquired the strength to move on any kind of road. The smoothness of most of the motorcycle parts is attained through usage for days. There are parts that are best once they are used when compared to a fresh part from the store.

Used motorcycle parts have another great advantage over fresh parts that, are easy to get. There are a few products that are taken away from the market by the manufacturer after a few years of the launch of the vehicle. In such cases, when the part is damaged, repairing will be extremely difficult. When you can search for used motorcycle parts for the part, it will be easy to get from other users who have it or from vehicles that are damaged due to other problems and can't be used again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
