I wanted to make my old bike better because I can't buy a new one anytime soon. Like is there anyway to help it out? Like I wouldn't mind new paint, what would I use for that? My tires are getting worn out, where is a cheap place to get new ones? What if I don't like the seat, how do I fix it or get a new one. Just a couple things. thanks.

Go to your dealer for exact part numbers. get estimates from bike parts stores. If you want there are probably lots of aftermarket parts dealers on the web who can make your bike faster, louder, unique, and more fun to ride. Look up your bike on the internet for clubs that share the same ride. Sometimes they have mods and pictures that can inspire you. Warning, it can get pretty expensive. Cheap replacements can be had at wreckers, salvagers, and police auctions. I like craig's list, bike trader, auto trader, and ebay. The Recycler is another source. Classifieds and grocery store want ads/postings sometimes have junkers good for parts and used tires

I am assuming your talking about a motorcycle... there are alot of good things you can do for cheap or nothing at all, I would start by cleaning the bike as much as you can, then see what you want to change, then call around to a few junkyards and see if they have a bike like yours, then ask what condition the part you want is in and the price, then go look at it and see if it can be cleaned up and used... cheap and sometimes you can find brand new parts that just need cleaning
