So let's imagine I am hunting for a swing arm for a 1985 350x. How, I might approach this is to first, go to EbayMotors and in the search bar type "350x swing arm" it will certainly return some results. Some times it could be listed as a swinger or any other variation of "swing arm" you can think about. Another tiny handy trick to finding inexpensive used atv parts on eBay is to do mistypes or screwed up listings as I really like to call them. Like the ad I once found for an "r250" Honda that was a really pleasant 250r. Well try and change the 200x to x200 and see what comes up. Also try and separate the letter from the numbers such as "200 x" or "x 200" these most defiantly show lists and they are listing no-one has found. Do not forget to use the quotation marks around it because if you do not it will just bring back a lot of lists for things that you don't need. An alternate way to discover which parts interchange is to observe the OEM parts & online schematics. Observe the exploded view for whatever part you an are on the lookout for.
Then write down the part number and check a year ahead and a years before and after to determine if the same part was employed on both machines. If it's the same part number it's the same part. This is also correct from model to model so check different models by the same manufactures of the same year too. And the feedback that past buyers left for the vendor. Remember to test OEM parts & online schematics for your part numbers and interchangeability and don't forget to use the tips I gave you for eBay and in almost no time I am sure you will assemble a massive pile of used ATV parts in you garage for your future projects.
