Howdy y'all. I'm originally from mid-Missouri but I've lived in Terre Haute for about 11 years now. I'm working on a Suzuki GN400 this winter, hoping to get it done by Summer next.

Anyone in the Indy area deal with CRC2? I'm going to be in town this weekend and I need a couple of things they have... How are they to deal with?

NO PARTS FOR YOU!!!
Thanks. It's easy stuff... a switch and a rebuild kit for my front caliper, but I also want to ask about a piston; I know they often have parts 'n pieces laying around.

He has shit everywhere, you'll be amazed at how much stuff he has in such a small area. I dont take him as the kinda guy to keep up on used parts on a website. He's a good guy, Tifuns analogy is spot on.

Great advice! Do you think it would be worth calling ahead for the piston?

It's worth a shot. Be advised that even though their hours are 12-6, they sometimes don't show up until 12:30ish. Also, they don't have call waiting so if you get a busy signal, keep calling back. Once you get through, his wife will answer and get your info. Then you have to wait for Rob to get free and he will answer your questions. It's a weird system but it works. haha

Thanks everyone, I'll give them a call today and let you know how it goes next week.

Yeah, I didn't see any kind of a parts inventory (except new stuff) on the website. I imagine keeping that inventory up to date would be a total waste of time anyway. It kind of reminds me of how Spitbits used to be back in the day. There was an online inventory of their breaker yard but it was super generic. You could search for a part for a '77 Spit and it would just say "we have 6 in the yard, chances are one of those cars has what you need!"
Looking forward to visiting. I hear nothing but good things.

Hey Deek, you weren't around when I posted another Hoosier resource. Don't know if Decatur would be any closer to you but the there is D&A Motorcycle Salvage... Awesome place and Dave is one of the "Good Ol Guy". Prices aren't anything to great but if you need it.... I did a post with tones of pics a while back but with "websots" goin belly up the links are all broken now except the one I attached direct...

Thanks, HD. I'm in Terre Haute, so that's a bit of a haul for me. I do go to Ft. Wayne occasionally so I might drop by the next time I'm in the neighborhood.
Also, if you're in the Terre Haute area, there's a bearing shop here in town Coldwell Bearing Co. on Wabash. They not only carry tons of bearings but also o-rings, circlips, they make custom length hoses and are all really nice guys too.
I got a stainless front brake line for $44 today and they just gave me the o-ring and circlip I needed. "Just a few pennies, don't worry about it". Like I said, nice guys.
