Where to buy parts

AusRider93 · 06-14-2015, 07:00 PM

Hi guys
I'm new here and would like to say hi to everyone first.
I'm from Australia and can't find where to buy parts for my bike cheap and online the bike was giving to me as payment for a job. It's a Apollo 250 air cooled. I tried in thread searches but nothing came up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome! Let's start with pics, so we know what we're dealing with.

Hi,

New here as well. I purchased a 197cc (my mechanic and I *think*) Shineray engine and chassis. This has been nearly an 8 month project, and I was SO happy when my renovations were complete. I've attached a few pictures to help speed this along.

Anyway, drove it over to a buddy's house to teach him clutch (never again) and he ends up breaking these parts when he fell off:
(1) the front right brake lever
(2) the gear shifter
(3) the right foot brake lever

So TLDR; he didn't ruin the bike, but broke all the parts that I would need to start riding again. Nothing in the engine is wrong, it still purrs wonderfully. I've been on ebay and other websites trying to find Shineray parts but I'm starting to think that I need to find universal parts.

Thanks for any help you all could provide!

The shift lever is pretty much universal and can be found by doing a search for pit bike shift lever on ebay. Or it could easily be bent back into shape since it's steel.

The rear brake lever can also be bent back into shape but it also looks like the hoop part of the peddle is missing. That can be fixed by a welding shop.

The front brake lever is also pretty universal and can be found on ebay in the pit bike section.

Thanks so much for your quick reply! Made my day.

So here's what I'm looking at on ebay under pit bikes:

Brake Lever:

Foot Brake Lever:

Gear Shifter:

Let me know if I'm on the right track before I order! Thanks in advance!

The ebay rear brake peddle is the one most likely not to fit so I would ask the seller for measurements and compare to yours.

The gear shift will almost certainly fit but it's always good to compare measurements.

I like the back folding levers. Again I would ask for measurements and compare. They'll probably fit.
