Hayward Cycle Salvage

I was giving a price over the phone for fork seals I came in the price went from 80 to 175 and that was just for one fork not both forks this was on Wednesday they called me Friday right before closing to say my fork was bent I pick my fork up on Saturday my fork was in pieces I found another shop charge me 172 for both fork seals I’d never go back to cycle salvage Hayward

I had a huge nail stuck in my rear tire and so I looked everywhere near my area to find the cheapest place that would do a good job. Years ago I had my wheels done at the Fremont Cycle Salvage and had a poor experience with them scraping paint off my rims. These guys were pretty good with both pricing and quick turn around.

Best of all the cycle salvages in the area. If you have a popular bike (like me with my CBR F4i) it’s more likely that they’ll have the parts you need. However they’re pretty much a salvage yard so you gotta understand they won’t always have your part. However they’ll do their best to help you find whatever you need. They’re a great bunch of motorcycle enthusiasts, it’s like buying from a friend every time you go there.

Definitely a good place to come if you can’t find parts you need on Craigslist or ebay. They have a bunch of stuff, some in great condition, other stuff in so-​so condition. The guys are really helpful there & super friendly, their prices can be high (ie: an 07 R1 ECU costs $ 700), but if you need the part, there isn’t much you can do!

I have a 2002 Suzuki Intruder 1500 LC that had some chronic problems, electrical & fuel. I took the bike into Cycle Salvage upon the referral of a good friend, knowing that I had already experienced the lack of service at East Bay Motorsports. This was not an easy fix and Brandon and the crew did their best to get to the root of the problems. After a considerable time I picked up the bike only to find that there were still some issues — a disappointment to say the least. When I went back to complain I got to speak with Chris, the owner. Chris is a very knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle guy and he actually listened to my complaints and did his very best to understand what I was describing. He took a personal interest in the bike, going so far as to research the proper jetting for the carbs (& calling Vance & Hines to get their input), checking and verifying the electrical specifications for the fuel system, even finding out that the fuel pump has a set of contact points that can be rebuilt instead of just replacing the fuel pump. Chris’s commitment to me was that he wanted to be sure that I left his shop with a safe and reliable ride, and after a lot of research, investigation and hard work, Chris and his crew got it right. The bike runs great, much better than it ever did, and after 5,000+ miles I am extremely pleased with the quality of their work. It would be nice to think that a mechanic can get it «right» the first time every time, but I have been around motorcycles long enough to know that that is rarely, if ever, the case. I truly appreciate Chris and his crew’s dedication and commitment to identifying the problems and finding reliable and cost-​effective solutions. They have given me a ride that I can ride confidently, something that I did not have before I had them do the work, and I recommend them highly for any mechanical work. Plus, I got the best helmet I have ever had from them. Great service, commitment to the customer, excellent products and very reasonable prices — give them a chance, you won’t be disappointed.

Been to them several times over the years. Don’t always have my part, but they are always happy to help. Good people, good business.

they had what i wanted so they were cool

Someone had stolen my rear brake reservoir off my Ninja 636 and I needed a replacement. I called, they only had one for a 1000cc bike but assured me that it would work. I went to the shop, great people, friendly and knowledgeable. They put on my reservoir and filled it for under $ 12.00! The one thing I don’t care for is that their drive way is uphill, steep and pretty much nonexistent. So if you need replacement parts or advice this is the place to go.

I have only had some fairly simple items handled at this place, but the young guys there are exceptionally service oriented and obviously love motorcycles. I have had very good experience here and their prices on tires are very good.
I needed a replacement brake lever. The one specd in the book was not correct and they went through about 20 different packages until they found the right one. The seemed to take pride in being helpful and getting it right. I’d go back to this place. Their mechanic seems to know his stuff and also know his limitations.

Giid place, lots of part, a bit pricey compare to fremont salvage, but you get good help here.

I had a great experience dealing with these guys. I had them straighten my forks and do a little plastic welding. They were courteous, helpful, did a good job, and were really quick. I would have no problem going back or referring a friend to them.

Salvage yards sometimes turn up surprises. Cycle Salvage in Hayward doesn’t have a huge stock, but still enough to get the job done. Prices are ok, and I find the floor staff helpful. The have some great moto clothing deals on occasion, too.

Went to get a tire changed. they did it on time and was helpful with question. Not the cleanest nor most organized looking. But hey they do what they say they do!

Needed a replacement gas tank for an older 250 I used to own.
Super easy transaction, done completely over the phone. Fast shipping — got here the next day.
If you are looking for a specific part, try calling this place up first before paying retail.

Since I am a motorcycle novice, I trusted the folks at cycle salvage. My friend installed the master cylinder for me and — hey! My brakes were WORSE! I went to Hayasa and Tyler pointed out that the Hawk master cylinder is ½″ while the one sold to me by Cycle Salvage is 5/​8″ — a possibly dangerous difference.
When I called them — they said «no refund, store credit only.» Given that they were willing to look at my motorcycle and sell me the wrong thing — I am doubtful that I would go back there to buy anything else. I want my money back! $ 75 for the wrong master cylinder is just a rip-​off — I got an actual Hawk master cylinder for $ 25 from craigslist.

These guys did some work on my 86′ Honda Shadow. They did not gouge, price was reasonable and when I suggested that they change my tires, they told me that it was not yet necessary. They found a pretty obscure problem with the bike and fixed it for a good price. They are honest and knowledgeable. A+
