I can't really be of much help to you, but if you dont find anybody locally that stocks andrews/woods products, you should be able to order it to your hotel. I'm assuming you're looking for a camshaft...shipping shouldnt be too bad. Atleast compared to shipping to Australia.

 

Since you've been to Kauai before you know how laid back it is there, big difference from Honolulu. If you're going to rent a bike in Honolulu the best ride I can tell you about Oahu is to take H1 south which will end up taking you through Hawaii Kai. You'll want to take 72 and eventually 83 up along the east coast of the island. It'll take you all the way up along the coast and to the north shore. From there you can take H2 all the way back down to Honolulu. Mileage wise the ride isn't that long, but the sites are awesome. Traffic as you get closer to the north shore will increase so you'll go very slow in some parts.

Sites to visit along the ride include Hanauma Bay, the blow hole, Macadamia Nut Farm, Chinaman's Hat, Leie Point (absolutely must stop there), stop at Giovanni's Shrimp Truck for a bite to eat (an absolute must), then some of the best beaches you will see anywhere, Dole Plantation, etc.. This is an edited video of myself doing part of the ride, but Youtube contains several videos that show the same or similar portions of the ride.


Depending on the type of bike you rent, your riding skills or how adventurous you feel, I would also recommend a ride up Tantalus Mountain. At the top it has some of the best views of the island.

Non motorcycle stuff you can also do are hiking to the top of Diamond Head or Koko Head. They both have stairs (well Koko Head actually has more like railroad tracks going up it).

Have fun!

 

Based on the freeway traffic I saw every morning, I'd rather sit on the I-5/405 freeways in Orange County. Yes, Honolulu's that screwed up. Worse than LA. (Almost as bad as Sandy Eggo!)

Want a great "Hawai'ian" experience? Rent your HD on the Big Island. Kona HD is where I go. 280 miles takes all day.
The submarine tour (Kona) is cool too. (We went down 106'!)

 

after this winter in wisconsin I could just sit in the sun there for a whole day!!

 

 

Haven't been in 15 years, but I would recommend getting the Hawaii revealed book for those two locations. They're written by locals and give you all the best spots that the "tourist" books don't tell you....... wait isn't that a tourist book? Anyways I used the Maui revealed book when I went and it literally tells you what mile markers to stop at and how far to hike to find awesome waterfalls that look like they're from a movie and other stuff like that. I've recommended them to everyone who I know is going.
