Santa Clara Cycle Accessories is the best!

While coasting to a stoplight tonight, in the #3 lane (that's all the way to the left), my clutch cable went completely slack. Luckily, I was in neutral and since there was no cars coming I took the crosswalk into a parking lot to address the situation. I observed the cable at the lever, noting that it was connected, and slid smoothly with no resistance.

Hoping that the other end just came out of the clutch actuating arm, I broke out the stock toolkit from under the seat. I found that I didn't have an 8mm wrench or socket to remove the sprocket cover to look at the other end. Since I was on El Camino about 5-10 minutes away from my favorite m/c accessory shop (Santa Clara Cycle Accessories (408-730-0600)), I called to ask if they had a cable and could run it down to me with an 8mm socket and driver. Luckily, they did and Doug was able to get away from the shop to get them to me. Awesome, right?

As soon as Doug gets there I open it up to find that the clutch actuating arm is what's broke. Heavy sigh.

"Doug can I ask for a tow?"
"I'll call Rick." (calls) "We can borrow his truck."
"Great!"

As we're loading the bike, I manage to ram the ramp into Doug's knee, which I'm still trying to figure out a way to make it up to him (suggestions welcome).

All in all, these guys are great, I've had nothing but a great experience with them, and continue to be a loyal customer.

Thank you Doug and thank you Rick!

I've purchased my past two sets of tires from SCC. Lowest prices I've found yet, and well worth the trip from the East Bay! :thumbup

Thanks for all the kind words folks :thumbup. Tim, don't worry abbout the knee ... it is only painfull when I walk up in down stairs:mstingray. The way I look at it now is a learning experience for the both of us : I learned to back the hell up if a guy is pushing their bike towards the ramp at high speeds, trying to use the loading ramp as a launch ramp :laughing. You, I hope you learned that you don't need to attack the ramp w/ that much speed :teeth.

Well worth the drive..

+10.:thumbup.. the last 2 months i have been rebuilding my 2005 600rr and Doug was a tromendous help. And i would deffinately trust my bike to Rick. He known what he is doing. I am sure i bugged him alot, always in there asking questions. The whole staff at SCC are great people. They also have great prices, and are always willing to match. Also great for any OEM Honda parts you may need, at great prices. I have had nothing but a great experience with SCC. Dougy Fresh is the MAN!!!!

the cake is a lie
they may be the next best thing since sliced bread, but they installed a tire backwards,....TWICE :wtf

I go buy a tire and drop off the rim,...I get a call later that day, I go to come pick it up,........"hey ummm,..this is installed backwards,...see the arrow?" guys says "oh man, sorry, we'll fix it, come back in 30 minutes",...I come back the next day guy says "it's ready to go",...I look at it,..."ummm,...it's still backwards",..."what?!?",..I said "LOOK AT THE LITTLE ARROW?!?!", at this point I'm thinking road rider,...quick!,...the guy says "ok I'll do it myself, come back in 30 minutes" I answer,..."3rd times a charm eh?",...so I go in later and it's on correctly.

I never go there anymore,...maybe it's time for another visit?

No complaints at all from me. Like someone above said, they have the best
prices. Any time I want a part, I order it through SCC. As for the tire being installed
backwards, I'm sure Doug has taken notice of it. He doesn't want this sort of
thing repeating.

I live in Cupertino and RR is far away, so I consider SCC first, period.
