Local used parts vendors?

I just traded off my Buell and got another old school ZX7. Problem is, being its a 92, there isn't dick for parts anywhere. I've got alot of work that needs to be done and the only used vendors I have near are Manuels and Cycle Therapy. I love Manuels but they deal in nearer stuff and the guy that runs Cycle Therapy is an asshole and his stuff is WAAAY overpriced. I need little stuff here and there like bodywork pieces and things. I've got the 39mm Flatslides on ebay and I've got a set of damn near new set Michelin 2CT sport tires (190&120) on craigslist. Its a bitch I've got to have 50 post here. I usually don't have much to say! Let me know if you've dealt with any shops local to Akron area that were any good. Thanks!

Check a place in C-Bus called "The Rice Paddy". I hear they can get alot of odd items.

I think it's ricepaddy.com. You fill out an email and tell them what you need. But IRS been awhile since I've been on it. Worth a look though.

RICEPADDY is a bullshit rip-off business. check out their rep on Ebay. i ordered a starter that they told me they couldnt get, and 3 months later callled to tell me it was in and charged me a 20% restocking fee!!! BS on that!!!

^^^both cycles r us in Medina and rice paddy in cbus are good...check cycle therapy in Peninsula Ohio (lil more expensive) and Manuel Cycle in Tallmadge and then the INTERNET:D goodluck

I just bought a used rear shock from Manuel Cycle. The price was right and the guy I dealt with knew his stuff.

Yeah, Manuels pretty well rock. The guy you dealt with was probably the guy I got my Buell off of. They do alot with newer stuff. I'll check out the ones from above. I ordered a ton of shite for it today, need to get the carbs rebuilt, paint it, and I'm ready to go. Sounds so simple.....
