I also have the same bike and need a starter also.I called the honda dealer and they can no longer order the part.I really would like to ride my bike thats why I got it.So if anybody know´s where I can get part´s for this bike I would appericate it.Also do bikes go up in value like old restored car´s or should I cut my loosses and just get rid of it,is it alway´s going to be hard to find part´s for this bike.Please let me know.
