Can anyone help trying to find bits and pieces

I've just bought a 98 Fireblade, which is surprising because when I started looking for a new bike it was going to be a GSXR1000 or R1. I read so many good reviews about the Blade that I decided to look beyond it's 'lardy blade' perception and give one a go. So I found a 1 owner, low mileage example (7000 miles) iand I have to say the 150 miles ride back, although cold and wet, was VERY impressive. 

So here I am on the owners club forum. I've owned Suzuki's and Yamaha's mainly and only 1 previous Honda, a late eighties MTX125 which was stolen whilst I was in a pub. I remember it being a great little 125 though. 

The fireblade is generally in excellent condition as it was last ridden in 2006 and put on display in the owners office until last year when it was recommissioned. 

It's a bit dusty and needs a damn good overall clean and ideally some new fairing panels to bring back to A1 condition. 

So... Can anyone give me advice on where best to get some reasonably priced replacement fairing panels? 
Ideally it needs the left mid section, right middle inner and top section and it will be perfect. 

The only other part that needs replacing or re-condissioning is the exhaust silencer which is dented and scratched. 

Of course i'm keeping an eye on ebay but not much is coming up at the moment. Also, there's a well known online Honda specialist but their prices seem to be a bit on the high side - (i.e. £60 for the rear chain guard!)

Thanks in advance for any help. Looking forward to a summer of riding fun and bike meetings...

Some of you may find this site useful if you're after Honda manuals.

http://www.carlsalter.com/honda-service-manuals.asp

The ones I've looked at aren't the best quality, being mostly scanned & converted to pdf's but they're good enough to get you out of a hole.

Hello to everyone. I am the owner of a 1990 CH250 Elite scooter that has done 6000 miles only. I am retired now but have owned lots of bikes over the years and like to keep something in the garage to hop on to on a nice day. I wonder if there are any other CH250 owners on the site and if so, whether we could share information about spares etc.

Hi all, the place we meet and have our rally has been flooded in the recent bad weather and is closed for now, we dont know how long they will be closed so January's meeting had to be cancelled but we will find a temp place for Feb watch the web site and here for details, they were hit bad so might be months we don't know we have been down to offer any help but theres little we can do. West Yorkshires web site is West Yorkshires Web Site 




This was the day it happened anyone who has been to our Eee by gum rally will know how bad this is....



This was the 4th Jan so better but still bad cricket pitch is still 2 to 3 foot under water...

Maria has started a page to raise money for the flood victims further down the valley where it was the houses that flooded and bad again the water was up to the roof downstairs so people have lost everything as they couldn't get insurance. If you can help please have a look at the Go fund page... https://www.gofundme.com/57gcwyj2

Hello,

My name is Stuart.

I have a 1995 VFR750 that I'm working on, it has (most of) a front end from a 1999 CBR900RR, with a 17" front wheel from a VFR800 machined to fit.
I say most of because it doesn't have a full front mudguard - I bought a complete one off eBay, and although the main mudguard part is correct, it turns out the stays/clips and the covers changed over the years - the stays/clips are too small to fit round the fork legs - I believe the mudguard I have comes from a 1996 bike...

So I joined this forum to try and get help in supplying the CORRECT parts I need - I was surprised at how much all the clips cost at Honda (£51.70!)
I'll get some photos up of the bike soon

Next stop: Wanted section

Regards

Stuart

Hi everyone
Back in 1965, I became the proud owner of a brand new Honda CB160, Registration number GGJ 729C, which I bought for £222 from Pride and Clarke in Brixton, South London.  I only owned the bike for a few years until I bought my first car and then reluctantly sold it.
I often reminisce about the bike, and would love to see one again.
Do any members know of a CB160 anywhere in the South London, Croydon, Bromley, Orpington area that I could see?

Many thanks
Stewart

I found the following on Face book and was wondering what people think of it


I was fed up with not being able to see riding in the rain and my girlfriend was fed up with holding her hand over my visor like a cap so I desgined Rainpal - for our video please see - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieqJYODFk24 and our website splash page is at www.rainpal.vision - After a year of careful designing we have now have the final design. Rainpal will enable you to ride more safely in the rain than ever before. If you are interested in our launch please send an email to sales@rainpal.vision to be kept up to date with our launch date onwww.indiegogo.com this will gaurantee you if you chose to order the promotional prices of $59 - Rainpal is only 1.3cms in height and width, silent running, vibration free, very light and minimum drag.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the e-mail address of the Honda UK customer relations dept for bikes.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi used to be a member but for various reasons haven't used the forum for a long time although I have continued to ride Hondas and maintain my club membership. sadly I have lost my log in details so have registered as a new member. Just a bit about me I'm 69 years old (almost) and have been riding since my 16th birthday and never held a car licence. My wife also rides a custom painted Honda Hornet 600 and she too has never had a car. I have owned approx 80 bikes ranging from 80cc to 1300cc the majority of which have been Hondas. Sadly due to injury caused by an inattentive driver I'm no longer able to ride the bigger bikes so my current bike is a CB500X fitted with a lowering kit.

Motorcycles have always been a passion of mine and play a big part in our lives. You can guess what the other big passion in my life is by my username  
By the way I'm located in Ashford Kent and am a regular at Kent Motorcycles
