Santa Clara Cycle Accessories

i came with a complaint of noise during braking. Doug checked the bike and recommended brake pads replacement and lubing drive chain. i also added a oil refill if required… their labor charges are more reasonable when compared with others … many places blindly charge 1 hour labor even for small/​fast repairs. here they only charged 40 $ labor for all these. also he was very professional. i liked this place. highly recommend !!

Greg and Doug are riders, they’re part of our motorcycling community and they always give top-​notch service. What else can you say? For the second (third?) time I had the misfortune of a punctured tire. I use my AAA towing service to get the bike there and they have tires waiting for me, tools at hand to help my get the wheels off and a friendly chat to pass the time. Not only that, Greg shows off their new mobile repair truck and notes that THEY could have come to me to replace the tires and gotten them mounted.
They’re very competitive on price, offer great service and are probably on the same road and trails you’re riding (when they get a rare day off). Absolutely know I can count on them every time to go above and beyond. Recommend them HIGHLY!

Love this place. I buy everything here for my bike

I went in today to buy a lock for my motorcycle and spent some time talking with Doug. I’m a new bike owner and he provided all the info I needed to service my bike, gear, and security. I really appreciate your time Doug and thank you for helping me out.

I’ve had Santa Clara cycle acc. replace many tires on wheels that I brought in. Did a great job. Good prices. fast service. This time I didn’t want to hassles with raising my bike and pull off wheels, so I decided to pay them to do it.
HUGE MISTAKE! When picking up the bike, it didn’t feel right. a lot of friction, the bike simply didn’t roll properly. them I noticed the speedometer didn’t work. Showed the mechanic the problem. They pulled the front wheel off. Found out that the mechanic broke the speedo transmission, thought that was the problem. NOT! I noticed the speedomterr cable was wrapped incorrectly around the brake caliper, pulling it is a suspected bad way. I suspected this may be damaged. want sure at the time.
The manger offered to pay for the speedometer transmission. He didn’t know about the speedo cable. (confirmed that problem later)
when the part came in, I realized I didn’t trust that mechanic, so I decided to fix it myself. pulling off the front wheel exposed a lot of damage in the wheel. the mechanic had crushed the speedo coupler in the wheel. It was also very clear that the way the mechanic assembled the wheel and the sequence of how he tightened things a completely backwards. (he basically tighten the spindle before he tightened the spindle clamps) This is why everything was crushed. Each time I replace one component, I find another that was damaged.
I am up to a couple of hundred extra dollars so far. The speedo is still not working. I’ve decided to let the factory mechanic repair all the damage.. But I don’t expect it to be less than hundred of dollars in time alone.
CONCLUSION: Don’t let the mechanic at Santa clara cycle accessory with on your bike. Having tires mounted maybe acceptable but nothing more.

I don’t know where to begin. Hands down, best experience I’ve had at a motorcycle shop. The staff is helpful and friendly and you can’t beat the prices on tires. This is going to be the shop I go to for all of my motorcycle parts and accessories.

I am a new rider, and came by this store to get my first helmet and gear. This is a great little store, with a decent selection of all things one would need for riding, some used motorcycles, and some parts. I did not find all that I was looking for, but the store clerk took a lot of time to give me advice on various gear, and when I told him that I did not see anything I liked from their selection of shoes he immediately suggested a different store with a larger selection, instead of dismissing me or trying to sell me something I don’t want. I am pretty sure I will be back here again.

Came through about an hour before close on my bike needing a new front tire desperately. (The belt had worn through over half way around the tire) The guys were super friendly, realistic and helpful. Found me the right tire for my needs, gave me a quick tip and the tools to remove tire, mounted and balanced my new one and another quick tip putting it all back together and made it out before closing. Not bad for my first time. And could not have picked a better spot to do it at.
Thank again for all your help

Love ‘em!
I take my bike here all the time. Spec 1 is closer to me but always packed…
Everyone here is super cool/​nice.
Carlos is my go to mechanic and super down to earth, haven’t spoken much with Nick, but he’s a chill guy too.
I’ve taken my bike there for oil change, chain cleaning, cut-​in frame sliders. And today, I took it in for my rear sets, fender eliminator, HID lights.
Prices fairly cheap, $ 100/​hour for labor, beats gp motors… And plus the customer service is better here.
Like the other review says, they will look for parts for you and order for you without trying to charge for extra.
My go to if I don’t have time to fix up the bike myself :):):):):)
I own a 2015 gsxr 600.

This review is specifically about their consignment service. I left my Vespa with them to sell on consignment. That was a first for me, since I have always sold my own vehicles in the past. Their consignment fee is 12% of the sale price, which is a good value for what they did, which is show the bike to prospective customers (no dealing with flakey craigslisters for me!), keep the battery charged, keep the bike clean and looking good, and recommending some minor cosmetic work they could do to make it more likely to sell (which I agreed to, at a very reasonable price). Throughout the process they were communicative with me, and eventually the bike sold. A few weeks later, I received a check in the mail. This was way less of a hassle for me than doing it myself, and I highly recommend them for their courtesy and professionalism.

I always use these guys for new tires. I bring in my wheels off the bike and they mount the tires for free. Their prices are competitive if you factor in the mounting costs when buying from other stores.

Brought my wheels & tires in for mouting & balancing. A week later I noticed the ride was a little bumpy, brought it back in and they happily check that everything was properly balanced. Thank you.

I was looking for tires and Doug the manager was able to get the tire I wanted with a installation and a also had some grips and controller cases installed. His shop had it done in within an hour! That is service .
A few days later had the oil changed and bought a Helmet becuse they have excellent prices on them. And again fast quality service! I also had a pair of gloves to return becouse I had changed my mind on the style and they were able return them, ! NO PROBLEMO! they were not worn of course. I live in San Jose and this is well worth the drive. They will be the shop i go to for my accessories for now on. GO CHECK THEM OUT!

I ordered new tires over the phone day before yesterday with this shop. Salesman called back yesterday to confirm correct tires were ordered.
I drove 50 miles, one way, to find out the wrong tires were ordered! They tried to find the right ones, but could not. Manager had lame attitude as he replied to this mistake.“not every one is perfect”. That is it! He did not offer to find the correct tires… offer to get them, mount them and make some amends for my 100 mile roundtrip for nothing! He offered nothing… not even some money for the gas I burned getting there. He only offered to refund my money.
Fuck this place, never ever go again! I did find a better place in San Francisco, charging 30% less for the tires! Free mounting and balancing is attractive, but the shitty attitude from the management is not.
AVOID THIS PLACE!

Great place! Sold our GS500 °F starter bike here. The guys were pretty chill, attentive, friendly, polite, and easy going. These guys also changed my ninja 650 rear tire at a fair price. Would recommend to any motorcyclist in the surrounding area looking for gear, bikes, selling or buying. A+

Really wanted to like this place…
Came in a couple times, bought a couple helmets, competitive prices on the helmets, and if they don’t have the graphic ones you want, they will order it for you. If I want another helmet, I will revisit.
When I needed a new rear tire, this was the first place I thought of. I gave them a call, I was not sure who was on the phone, but the experience was not exactly ideal. First, he said they do not have the exact one I want, because it was too «high-​end». Bikes like mine don’t usually buy that kind of tires. K whatever…
Can they order it for me? Sure, but the price is not competitive with online prices. No price-​match. Completely understandable…
Here’s what made me decided not to come here… The guy on the phone said, If you want it to be affordable, «you can get a friend to take the wheel off your bike and bring it in».
Maybe I am being over sensitive, but just because I am a female does not mean I need a «friend» to take the wheel off my bike for me. I’m going out on a limb here and guessing the «friend» you have in mind is six feet tall, muscular and beats his chest? To the Guy-​on-​the-​phone, Hello!!! Women wear pants now and they can vote too.

Friendly and fast service. It helped that I got here bright and early this morning, the wait should be 45 minutes for a new rear tire mount. The comfy leather couch in the shop is calling out to me, I think I’ll take a well deserved snooze! These guys rock!

If you are on this page it means you are considering this shop distance wise, well look no further. I did my research too and picked this location even though I’m living in San Jose downtown and I’m so happy I made that call.
I had my motorcycle safety check there before I purchase it and after the diagnosis, they gave me a list of things need to be fixed so I purchased the bike and left it with them. They really helped me to minimize the labor cost and the invoice was as estimated.
Got the bike and noticed minor oil leak. Took it back to the shop they said it’s actually from the excess of chain lube and they cleaned it up and back to me at no cost. After few days of riding I noticed oil leak again. Took it back and this time was from some other seals. They were kind enough not to charge me for the labor cost but the additional parts only.
I am so happy that they stand behind their service and value their customer satisfaction. The staffs are super friendly and you will walk out knowing more about your bike.

So today I had to change my tire for my sv650. Doug helped me out happily even though I came at 645 when they were closing up. Not only was he absolutely nice about everything but he overheard me on the phone about finding a ride back home. These guys care about their customers and I highly recommend anyone to go here
Thanks Doug for the ride! Def coming back here for.

I bought new off road tires here. I realized the day after ordering that I forgot to ask they please return my perfectly good road tires for future use. I called, made the request, they said «no problem» (you would think they would offer this service if the set they’re taking off is still in good condition). When I arrived to pick up my new mounted tires, they had 2 used tires sitting there that were not my original tires. They were not the correct brand or size. Fortunately, I had photos of my old tires. I asked the guy there if he would please look for my original tires which he eventually found in the disposal pile. He did refund my disposal fee ($ 4)
I got home (which was 45 minutes away) to find both tires were flat! They used my original tubes which were working on the original tires, but most likely were pinched during mounting. Had to repair the tubs ourselves which cost an additional $ 30.
I know mistakes happen, but quality sets you apart from online retailers. Ask clients if they want tires back (especially when there’s decent tread left) and check your work before it leaves the shop. Those tires should have been full of air!
