Does the '88 NX650 I just bought share many -- or any -- parts with other models like the XL600 or XR650L?

OK, well, thanks anyway. Maybe they don't have other 600 and 650 Hondas where most of you are . . .

Use this fiche to navigate to the part no. pane and click on the part no, and it will list if it is shared with other Hondas

for instance the mirrors are the same as used on the 90–92 XRV750 Africa Twin

Be aware that many parts specific to the NX650 and similar are discontinued as the bikes were last manufactured more than a couple of decades old.

Thank you! This is VERY useful. I knew that parts were difficult to find in the U.S. before I bought the bike. Luckily, the stuff I was most concerned about -- cables, sprockets, filters, etc. -- is still readily available here (EBay, etc.). Knowing what other models to try in my searches will help.

The 88/89 dommies in my opinion( I have had a couple) are much more desirable.
Having a kickstarter is a real plus. A true godsend when the battery goes T.U.
