Hero is India’s largest two-wheeler brand, and that scale is exactly why Hero spare parts can be confusing. A single nameplate – Splendor, Passion, Glamour, HF Deluxe – has been sold in many generations, each with its own tank, panels, wiring and electricals. This guide shows you how to buy the correct Hero part the first time.
1. Start with the full model and generation
“Hero Splendor” is not enough. A Splendor Plus, Super Splendor, Splendor Pro and Splendor iSmart are different bikes, and each has been revised across BS3, BS4 and BS6 generations. Parts such as petrol tanks, side panels, wiring harnesses and self starter motors change between these versions. Always match the full name on your RC or the original part.
2. Identify the part family you need
Hero spare parts on autoss.in span fuel tanks, side and tail panels, front forks and fork pipes, self starter motors, coil plates, CDI units, speedometers and locks. Each family has its own fitment rules: a starter motor is matched by body length, mounting flange and pinion teeth, while a side panel is matched by type (Type 1, Type 2, Type 7) and colour.
3. Kick-start or self-start
Many Hero commuters were sold in both kick-start and self-start (i3S) variants. Electrical parts – starter motors, wiring harnesses, coil plates and regulators – differ between the two. Confirm your start type before ordering anything electrical.
4. Colour and finish for cosmetic parts
Hero cosmetic panels are painted in factory shades – black, silver, sports red, wine red, blue and grey. A replacement panel in the correct colour fits and looks factory; a wrong shade is obvious against faded bodywork. If your bike is faded, buy matching panels together.
5. OEM-spec quality, not generic
Cheap universal parts rarely fit Hero frames cleanly. autoss.in lists OEM-spec replacements built to the original dimensions and mounting points, and every listing names the exact models covered so you can compare with your bike.
6. Ordering checklist
Have your model name, year or BS version, start type and – for cosmetic parts – the colour to hand. If you are unsure, photograph the original part and its mountings; the correct part can be matched from those details.
Bottom line
Match the full model and generation, confirm the part family and start type, and match colour for cosmetic parts. Do that and a Hero part bolts on like the original.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right Hero spare part for my bike?
Match your full model name and generation (for example Splendor Plus vs Splendor Pro), the model year or BS version, and the start type. The listing on each product names the exact Hero models it covers.
Are these Hero spare parts genuine OEM?
They are OEM-spec replacements built to the original Hero dimensions, mounting points and connectors. Each listing states the exact models covered so you can confirm fitment before buying.
Do Hero self-start and kick-start parts differ?
Yes. Starter motors, wiring harnesses, coil plates and regulators can differ between kick-start and self-start (i3S) variants. Always confirm your bike start type before ordering electrical parts.
How do I match the colour of a Hero side panel or tail panel?
Hero panels come in specific factory shades such as black, silver, sports red, wine red and blue. Match the exact shade; if your bike bodywork is faded, buy both sides together so the shade stays consistent.
Can I use a part from another Hero model on my bike?
Only if the mounting points, connectors and dimensions match. Never assume cross-model fitment even within Hero; check the listing stated fitment for your exact model.
