Does anyone in the aftermarket industry make anything for Husabergs? Aside from the normal handelbars and grips thing, can you buy plastic parts, oversized tanks, decals, seat covers etc...
 
It depends alot on the year and model. Which bike do you have and what are you specifically looking for?
 
I do not own one as of yet. I'm considering buying a 97 FE501.
 
I am reasonably sure you can get the above named items other than the oversized tank. Whatever you need will require some search effort on your part. You may even have to source parts from other country's. Gettting parts for that bike will be hit and miss. Unless you are looking for a hobbie (or a challenge), you may want to consider a newer model. 2000's and up can be had starting around $2000.
 
Scour the Web Links you may be surprised what you find :)

If you are looking for something in particular sometimes a post calling for help may be necessary.
 
So, if I understand what your saying correctly, just finding replacement parts for this machine could prove to be a challenge? Is it as difficult to find parts for as say, a VOR or a newer Maico?
 
What I am saying is that most parts are available. Is every part readily available.....no!! You are not going to walk into Kmart and get all of your parts in one stop. Can you get all the parts to keep it running....more than likely yes. Like any used 9 year old dirtbike it will need TLC. Heck even when it was new it required alot of TLC.

VOR is out of buisness at this time. When was the last time you saw a new Maico, let alone an actual stocking dealer?? I have not even seen a running Maico since the mid 70's.
 
How much would a replacement piston
for this berg cost?How long to get it?
These are the questions I would be
asking.
 
I think the thing for me to do is hit up the local dealers and see what they say about getting parts. G&G Cycle is only about 15 or 20 miles from my house so I'll stop by and chat Bergs with them on Saturday.
 
I will be rebuilding my '98 Fe501 next month and I just got thru building a '98 600. All parts including piston were available within three days. The piston is a bit pricey, but it is only the second one for the 600 and the 501 is still running strong on only its second piston since i bought the bike new . Don't know what all the fuss is about. All you have to do is perform regular (intense) maintainance and ride the snot out of the bike . Dan at MotoXotica can get just about anything to keep it running. Not too many aftermarket parts exist, but the bikes don't need much anyway.
My '98 bergs are 17 years newer than the last bike I raced. Even so they are a little out of date, but they are still an excellent play bike.
 

I have bought my '97 FE501E as a basket case, with the top end off and a lot of sand everywhere - it blew up at Pismo Beach in 6th gear. It took me about 3 weeks to get all the parts that I needed, and a couple of weeks later I put the motor back in the frame and the thing fired up right away.
Besides the mechanical noise from the motor that can get scary, it is a real fun bike and I am definitely not scared riding it because Dan @ Motoxotica has pretty much everything it needs in stock.

That's correct but there are plenty of places to buy what you need for this bike.

It's quite hard to blingify (can I use this word? the TOS says nothing about it) but for good and serious performance parts, there's a bunch of stuff available.

Later models share a lot with the KTMs, it gets easier.

Check Taffy's Word document (check his signature): it should point you in the right direction.
 
Ill be sent back to the 70's, they ARE importing NEW maico dirt bikes. From the website (usamaico) it appears that they are building at least 2 models. A thumper and a blue smoke. The company is in Germany.

Mr. Lefrog:

Warning!

You are in violation of the Terms of Service otherwise known as TOS

The word Bling is expressly prohibited. You will be let off with a warning this time as you probably did not read the "Additional Terms of Service" which I am sure is just an oversight on your part.
