I contacted Coast Riders Powersports about a part/accessory and provided my VIN after being told…read morethey'd look it up. I never received a callback. When I followed up, I was told they don't carry it, and then it was implied it might be "somebody else," but I wasn't given the aftermarket company/vendor info to actually solve the problem. I understand not carrying a part -- that's fine -- but taking a VIN and then not following up, and not providing a clear referral, wasted my time. If you're going to collect info for a lookup, I'd expect either a return call or a direct lead on where to get it. Hi Coast Riders Powersports, Just wanted to say thanks for getting back to me and pointing me toward a few different places to find the part. I appreciate you taking the time to help me get unstuck. Thanks again, Antonio

They came to my aid when I needed help and got me sorted and back on the road. I highly recommend the team at Coast Riders for any service, repair or accessory shopping needs for your motorcycle or scooter. Last October 14, 2024 I attempted to ride solo over 1000 miles in under 21 hours via the Nevada Desert and the Sonora Pass. Basically a fun, but serious challenge for which I prepared for by mounting new tires on my motorcycle the week before the attempt. I'm not from San Luis Obispo, but towards the end of epic my ride, I found myself stranded in Pismo Beach with a nail in my brand new rear tire after 900 miles of continuous riding over 19 hours. Yikes. At this point I was cold, wet and tired and it was 10 pm at night. I managed to limp the bike into Pismo Beach, Ca on the rear flat. I I decided to get a hotel room and sort out my problem in the morning. My rear tire was destroyed. The next morning, I found Coast Riders Powersports on the web and gave them a call to see if I could, possibly, buy a new tire and get it mounted quickly. They were great....and totally reassuring. The office manager understood my problem and my need to get my bike back on the road quickly to get home (and to get back to work!). The Coast Team had a tire in stock and gave me a great deal. They cleared their schedule and opened up a service rack to, really, a total stranger who was broken down on the road. I received the best service. So I had AAA load my bike and the AAA trailer and transported it 13 miles to the Coast Riders very nice Work Shop located in San Luis Obispo. Coast Riders took care of everything and had me back on the road in less than 4 hours after I first phoned them to ask for help. I strongly recommend Coast Riders Powersport to for all of your motorcycle needs. Scott V. Santa Barbara, CA

I live in a small town in Western Massachusetts and travel around the country every two years (why?…read morebecause I can). I usually find a shop somewhere on the west coast to have my oil changed and any other maintenance issues that may come up. I found Salty Cycles on my last trip out (2022). Given the incredible quality of the services provided as well as the incredible quality of the two people who were there (presumably Nathan and his employee?) I will now go out of my way regardless of where I might be on the west coast to go to this shop. I've traveled a lot (143,600 on my bike now) and there are no shops or mechanics that I've used that equal the quality of Salty Cycles. I'll be headed out again in a few weeks and for sure Salty Cycles is my place to stop for service. Thank you Nathan.

The price was good and fair, the friendly service top notch. I'm especially proud to have bought locally. lol, pay no attention when the Salesman tells you he is a used car salesman and shouldn't be trusted, he is joking. I absolutely trust him, especially now, though I don't remember his name while writing. He told me when I purchased the Jeep, the previous owner would be bringing by the Snorkel and some other additional accessories, (usually a BS claim), not with them, they both did, they are true to their word. The next week I was provided with a minimum $500 or more in accessories. These could have been sold on EBay and I would never have known. They are ethical. Enough said. Proud of our local community.

My friend recommended Phil Radford at Fair Spares America for the obligatory gearbox outer cover upgrades and tach drive mods. Since I do nearly all the mechanical work myself, Phil was a great help. One aspect sorely missing from many of the 'mom and pop' British bike shops in Southern California is a good business sense. Meaning, that most shops I have dealt with are a little lax when it comes to schedules, shipping of parts, hours of operation, etc. When I shipped the parts to Fair Spares for their modifications, they came back in a timely manner. Fair Spares is run like a proper business, not a hobby. More importantly, as I started to depend on Phil for timely shipping of parts, he started to inquire about what it was I was working on. What did I have, a total tear-down? Regular maintenance? A barn find? And he was more than forthcoming with a wealth of 'how to' assistance. A great example was my clutch basket. I needed the obligatory crank seal, primary case seal and outer cover seal. He walked me through the process in a clear and concise manner, which the manual just does not cover. Thanks to Phil, I was able to service my entire clutch assembly, including the cable adjustment and basket upgrades. I made notes while he explained, and referred to them time and again as needed. Phil also stocks only the highest quality parts he can find. Which means if the best part at the time is Emgo, but later Andover releases a better part, he is quick to adjust his inventory and informs his customer that a better part is now available. My experience while hunting for parts restoring other vehicles has not always been so honest. Excellent service, excellent free advice, timely shipping.
