Hi Heather

There was a thread over on the kawasaki triple forum where someone had not heard of Bridgestone motorcycles. I linked your picture of the dual sport and posted it in the thread.

One guy who replied , H2Rtuner is very knowledgable and posted some info on them. http://kawasakitriplesworldwide.com/...hp?f=2&t=50823

Cool. I am a member at http://bridgestonemotorcycleparts.com which is owned by the guy he is talking about with all the OEM parts. There is a surprisingly good group of folks with these out there.

Good to hear you have a good source for parts.

I was slightly surprised to learn this about the Bridgestone Motorcycles

For their time, they were one of the fastest bikes in their respective classes.

I think the company that Tuner is referring to is Certified Parts Corporation, they have lots of Bridgestone parts. Also, Richard Clark has a lot of NOS parts, he bought the inventory of several BS parts distribution centers when Rockford Motors closed up.You should be able to find the email links for both of these places easily. I have dealt with both and highly recommend them both.

She's Alive!!! The Honda started up fairly easily. Rebuilt carbs, new spark plugs, new ignition switch and changed out the oil and there she blows.

We had to take headers off to get the center stand off and we didn't bother to put them back on before we started it. But good thing was, we could see the fire from each cylinder, so we knew they were all firing.
