WATCH OUT for Vintage Elsinores. Even though they have good prices they also have terrible service. They will mislead you on delivery dates. Send you defective parts and not send you a correct part or call you with info. Dodge your phone calls Etc. etc. Has happened to me twice. I will never deal with them again!!!
Try a Honda dealer (Western Hills) or any of the other vendors in the resources section. I have had good luck with Vintage Iron in the past

WoW! I'm really surprised to hear that you had bad service from Vintage Elsinore's. I must have had at least 20 orders with them and all was very smooth and fast.

I also had a positive experience with Vintage Elsinores. Ordered the complete gasket, seal and bearing kits. He called me up last Friday night and told me the kit didn't include one bearing that you can only get from Honda direct. So he wanted to know if I wanted to order that one that doesn't come in the kit. I said sure. I woulda been pissed if I ordered a "complete bearing kit" and didn't have all the bearings! Seems like good service to me. Got the parts this past Friday. Not bad at all.

Glad you had a good experience and got your parts on time. I didn't have the same. I ordered complete bearing and rod kit for a 78 last year, took 2.5 months to get it..( Don said they were moving to new location so I was patient. That didn't stop then from charging my credit card though!) I ordered about the same this year for a 73 on June 18th, this included a rod kit with a cylinder base spacer. I finally received the shipment in late Sept. and the base spacer was machined wrong, they said they would replace it...... Have called and left countless messages and email. NOTHING!!!!! If any of you guys know Don ask him to address this right here!!!!! I've got a bike that I've been waiting all summer to put together but I don't have the base spacer !!! Any advice?? I can get the spacer from BadBrush.com, ( I don't have much faith that the spacer from Vintage Elsinores will be right) it just pisses me off that I paid for this and they will not send it or call me with info. I just want the parts I paid for!
