ebay search string
The below is the search string that I use to find ebay parts:
honda (vtr1000,vtr996,"vtr1000","vtr 996",superhawk,"super hawk",firestorm) -(skullkey,305*,cb*,dream,"motorcycle cover")
it reads as follows:
honda
AND (vtr1000 OR vtr996 OR "vtr1000" OR "vtr 996", OR superhawk OR "super hawk",OR firestorm)
EXCLUDE -(skullkey OR 305* OR cb* OR dream OR "motorcycle cover")
this does a pretty good job or weeding out the unwanted and the junk (hong kong bike covers...) while keeping in the good stuff. If I want to narrow it down to a specific item, I add that key word after honda. So if I wanted to seach for exhaust I would do so like this:
honda exhaust (vtr1000,vtr996,"vtr1000","vtr 996",superhawk,"super hawk",firestorm) -(skullkey,305*,cb*,dream,"motorcycle cover")
What other search strings are you all using? JB

I modified the string as seen below. Added +500 legit parts. The biggest jump was removing the "honda" requirement from the string:
(vtr1000,"vtr 1000",vtr996,"vtr 996",vtr1000f,superhawk,"super hawk",firestorm,"fire storm") -(skullkey,305*,cb*,dream,"motorcycle cover")
Note: removing skullkey and "motorcycle cover" keep the search cleaner.

Using this string in eBay Motors I get around 1200-1300 hits... Of them about a hundred or so is not VTR parts... So say 1100-1200 useful hits... None of them are fairing kits and whatnot meant for the RC51...
If you want to exclude the ~50 items that are tankpads, add that to the end... Same for "bike cover" and so on... It's not hard guys... Just save it as a search in eBay and off you go... Add slipon before the ( and you get just those...
