Terms of Use

These terms cover the use of bikepartsfinder.com. The site provides written guidance on sourcing motorcycle parts and a search tool that queries eBay. It does not sell anything, and it is not a substitute for a workshop manual or a qualified technician.

What this site is, and is not

It is an information site with a search tool. Articles cover how different manufacturers handle parts supply and where the pitfalls are.
It holds no stock. No parts are warehoused, listed or dispatched from here.
It takes no orders and processes no payments. There is no checkout on this site and no card details are ever handled.
It is run by an individual, not a dealership, a parts factor or a registered motor trade business.

Purchases are between you and eBay

When you use the search, you leave this site and arrive on eBay. Everything that follows is between you, eBay and the individual seller.

This site is not a party to your transaction and has no involvement in it.
Disputes, refunds, returns, non-delivery and item-not-as-described problems are matters for the seller and eBay buyer protection. This site cannot intervene, chase a seller or refund you.
Prices, stock and postage change constantly and are controlled entirely by eBay and its sellers. Nothing on this site should be read as a quoted price.
Seller reputation is your judgement. Feedback scores, returns policies and dispatch times are shown by eBay and worth reading before you commit.

Safety, and this section matters most

Motorcycles are not appliances. A part that is wrong, counterfeit or worn beyond service limits can cause a crash, and the consequences of that are not recoverable.

Everything here is general guidance, not advice about your specific machine, its condition or its history.
Fitment must be verified against your own motorcycle using the frame and engine numbers, not against what a listing claims will fit and not against what is written here. Model years overlap and specifications change mid-production.
Brakes, steering, suspension, wheels and structural components are safety critical. If there is any doubt about condition, provenance or your own competence to fit them, use a qualified motorcycle technician.
Used safety critical parts carry unknown history. A component from a crashed donor bike can look perfect and be distorted. Where the article text says to be cautious, it means it.
Electrical components are difficult to assess before fitting and poor quality replacements can damage other systems.
The final decision on what to fit is yours alone. No liability is accepted for parts purchased, fitted or relied upon following anything read on this site.

Accuracy of information

Articles are written in good faith and reviewed from time to time. Even so, parts availability, supersession, pricing and manufacturer policy all move constantly, and some of what is written will inevitably drift out of date.

Nothing here is guaranteed to be current, complete or correct for your machine.
Verify anything that matters against a manufacturer parts diagram, a dealer, or a qualified technician before spending money or turning a spanner.
If you spot something wrong, please say so at admin@bikepartsfinder.com and it will be corrected.

Affiliate earnings

This site earns commission through the eBay Partner Network when a visitor buys after searching here. The price you pay is unaffected. Full detail is set out on the affiliate disclosure page.

External links

Links to eBay and any other outside site are provided for convenience. This site has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the content, policies, products or security of any site it links to.

Acceptable use

Do not scrape or republish the articles on this site without permission.
Do not attempt to interfere with the site, its hosting or its security.
Do not use the search tool for anything unlawful, including sourcing stolen parts.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated as the site develops. The version in force is the one published here at the time you use the site.

Frequently asked questions

My part arrived broken. Can you help?
Not directly, because the sale was between you and the eBay seller. Open a case through eBay buyer protection, which is the mechanism that can actually get your money back.
The article said a part would fit and it did not.
Articles here describe general patterns rather than confirming fitment for a specific machine. Fitment must always be checked against your own frame and engine numbers before purchase. If something on the site is factually wrong, please report it and it will be fixed.
Do you check the sellers listed?
No. The results come from eBay and are not vetted here. Seller feedback and returns policies on eBay are the tools for judging that.
Can I use your articles on my own site?
Not without permission. Ask at admin@bikepartsfinder.com and it will usually be granted for reasonable use with a credit.
Which law applies?
The site is operated from outside the UK by a UK national and its content is written to UK standards. Nothing in these terms removes any statutory right you have as a consumer in your own country.
