The Hero Honda era produced some of India’s most durable motorcycles – CD 100, CD Dawn, SS 100, Splendor and Passion. These older machines use classic-specific parts, and many are still on the road. This guide helps you match the correct Hero Honda spare part.
1. The Hero Honda CD and SS family
CD 100, CD 100 Deluxe, CD Dawn, CD Y2K and SS 100 are closely related but use model-specific petrol tanks and tank kits. A CD 100 tank kit is not the same as an SS 100 kit, so match the exact model.
2. Petrol tank kits
For the CD/SS family, parts are often sold as a “petrol tank kit” that includes the tank and its fittings. Match the exact model and the factory colour (black, red, wine red).
3. Common Hero Honda part families
Popular Hero Honda spares include petrol tanks and tank kits, silencers, fork pipes, CDIs and tanks. A silencer is matched by model; a tank kit by model and colour.
4. Colour and finish
Classic Hero Honda tanks and panels come in shades such as black, red and wine red. Match the exact shade for a factory look.

Hero Honda CD/SS machines are kick-start with simple electricals. Match CDI and coil plate by model and pin count.
