parts or bike from Japan

Post by gza710 »

I'm moving back to the States from Japan soon and I was wondering what Honda parts should I bring back? What's hard to find in the States terms of bikes, motors, parts, etc? I've been out of the Honda game for a while but don't want to pass up this opportunity to bring back some goodies. I have an 1987 Elite with a 1994 Dio motor on it. I already bought all the jdm plastic and lights for my elite. I want to do a front disc brake on it in the future. I'm willing to bring back a whole new bike if its rare in the states. Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks.

pipes and motors that you cant find here are always cheap on yahoo auctions. performance parts for the af05e motor is a plus.

I'd guess all will bring back goodies. Whether for personal use or sales, it's a fun dream.

Anyone bringing back a motocompo? - it might almost be baggage. :D
