I Am Looking For Parts For A Tank R1 Vision Motorcycle, Have Called Nearly Half Of California?

does anyone know a motorcycle dealer that will have parts for this bike?
I just looked up the bike because I’d never heard of it either, and I recognized by the CCs, and several other things (namely the no-name brand) that this has got to be one of those cheap Chinese imports. the site I found the bike on is this http://www.menintools.com/tankvisionr1.html
I suggest you call them and ask them where the bikes are made — 95% sure they’re Chinese. Ask the dealer if they can get parts. It’s unlikely though, as that is one of the main problems with these cheap bikes (aside from poor quality control) — there’s no repair/parts support for them here. Often though, these Chinese manufacturers have almost entirely ripped off one of the Japanese or American bikes and the parts are often interchangeable. If you can figure out what bike they’ve ripped off (it’s probably a Honda Rebel 250) you can probably get the parts. Try taking it to a repair shop and ask them if they can take a look at it using the Honda repair manual/parts catalog.
My last piece of advice, if you cannot get any dealers to order you a part, is to go on to made-in-china.com, register (make stuff up and fill out a profile), search under motorcycles and check out the top companies on the list. They all make the same model bikes for some reason (not sure why that is). Find your bike, then contact them and request a part. They’re usually quite responsive. While it won’t be called a Vision R1 or whatever, you will find your bike. The companies are just a bunch of factories that tag the bikes with any name you want if you buy enough.
Hope this helps.
Because part runs vary at the manufacturer I needed to contact the supplier by searching the name off the part on Google for my Triumph.
I was replacing the quick connects…
