I realise this is off track of this site but hopefully someone here can help me out. A friend of mine has this bike which was made in Italy, parts are hard to find. He needs a set of points for it. Where can I find a set? No Harley shops in the US handle Italian parts.Maybe a cheap conversion kit. He is just a recreation rider, not a racer.Please contact me Bud at budsuze@hotmail.com. Thanx.

Here's one place to try.......Seems like the linked website is also connected to his sales on eBay:

Aermacchi Ignition Points | American Parts and Motorcycles

You can also use a search engine like Bing or Google and type in "Aermacchi parts" so's you can comparison shop..........

Good luck and Ride Safe.........

Here's another:

Aermacchi Harley Davidson Sprint Home Page

And from his parts link on the above page, here's a list of parts resources. (Moto Italia is supposed to have a good rep from what I've read during this brief search, but it's always good to shop around):

Thanx for the help Ol' Grey, a lot of those sites I have already been to but you gave me a few new ones so I will have some new ones to try. I will let you know how it works out, thanx again.

They did show two different sets of points so I sent a message to try to get the right set, which shows better promise than I have had in a long time. So far so good.

[Ol' Grey]

Glad to be of some help and sure hope that you find what you need

It's always good to see those vintage bikes back on the road where they belong. Definitely a "labor of love" and oftentimes heavy on the "labor" part, LOL! but also worth the effort and very gratifying once you've achieved your goal.

Keep after it, ENJOY and Ride Safe...........

If you find a place that has the right set, you might get 2 or 3. Who knows how long you can get them for!!
