That was my plan but she wants the right ones, so I'm trying to find them if possible.
Up to her, but I thought she wanted to get work while waiting for the proper Honda ones?
Aye that's the point I've made too. I'll see what I can find locally tomorrow anyway.
She needs a clutch lever too. I tried heat & gentle bending to straighten the old one, but it's cast cheese so cracked.

Just go down the stealers then and hand over the monies. Just don't answer the phone if it's on back order to Japan... :lol:

Lol, got a few places to try in the morning. If there's no luck then stealers it is, some stealers online seem to show them in stock. I guess from the amount of crashed 125s it's a good seller.

Have Fowler's got them in stock? They are usually next day even if you only pay for the cheap service, mind you'll probably be spending enough for carriage paid.

Hilevel will do a pattern lever too and they are next day, they should (i think measuring tapes have got to Doncaster) be capable of getting someone to put a tape measure across that set of bars they list to confirm if they are correct.

Here are some pics from the Revved Up Mods and Rockers day. Not many Mods in evidence.
Is that the place on coast near Clacton? Walton I think. Looked a decent meet up when we was on holiday a couple years back.

Or go to dealer and try arrange a test ride of about 2 hours. Should be enough to get good parts swapped over....

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?
