I have been let down a couple of times on ebay and such for parts I really need to finish the VFR750 so looks like I will need to order new.

I can only find US sites that offer the ability to search a full bike for spares, most in the UK only seem to offer a narrow band of popular items for a bike.

The VFR is 1986 and for example I need a rear fender so its not exactly a popular item!

hmm, you might be a safe bet, because if you mess me about I can get Loz to beat the crap out of you Smile

I need a few things for it, but right now the one thing I am missing to rebuild the back end is a rear fender - the one the number plate attaches to. The bike has had a hatchet job done to it and I want to restore it to original.

That sort of thing you are going to have to go to a Honda dealer for such as David Silvers.

I can get it but it will cost more. I get between 10-20% discount then have to pay postage then have to post it to you whereas if you go direct to David Silvers you would probably pay less than I would from a Honda Dealer even with my discount.

Yup, thats what I mean about finding a supplier than will do all parts. Most suppliers provide a few pages worth of standard parts for the bike. I can get those most places.

hi,
best place for new, genuine /pattern honda parts david silver.
not the cheapest though.
& sickpup for brakes & stuff.
but if its decent second hand parts for that vfr of yours, i can give you the name of a guy in germany (of all places! lol) who specialises in these things. (just pm me if your interested)
as an example i got original unmarked petrol tank,both side fairings ,oe shocker (in remarkably good condition),front cowling & headlight, rear cowling & tail light & a decent rear subframe for around 200 quid & postage of around 40 quid.(bearing in mind this was a big heavy box, ordered on sun night & arrived on sat morning)
which i thought was ok, considering i could just polish them up & stick them on the bike!
(bearing in mind this was a huge,heavy box)
& the plastics were in the original usa colours which i couldnt find in the uk.
ebay.de is always good for this bike as well.
& if you have the links to on line parts fiche that always helps to get part no's.(cmsnl etc, but dont buy from there!)
cheers,
GAZ

You can always MAKE parts fit your older bike ,quite often it is just the connector or the holes for mounting that are different. Which you can drill and use quite reasonably...

I know a bloke with an NTV600 and he made a VFR750 fairing fit , its not perfect but it works...

Sorry to hijack this thread, I would appreciate your recommendations for either Honda genuine parts or New Old Stock?

I'm looking for a water pump drive shaft for a Honda MTX200 (same as on an early MTX125 / MBX125) - Part No. 19230KE1000.

Honda have discontinued it, so it's down to dealers who might still have one in stock. So far I've tried with no luck -

David Silver - https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/parts/
Lings - https://www.lings.com
CMS (Netherlands) - https://www.cmsnl.com/
f-w-css (Germany) - https://www.f-w-css.de/

Any other recommendations for either UK or abroad (I'm told that there are good places in Asia)?

Thanks in advance.

gissit.com

Put your request in there, takes a minute to do, then your info is sent to all the popular breakers in the uk, they then respond if they have it and give you price.

Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to say I've tried there (and ebay), the bike is from the mid-eighties so are getting pretty rare amongst the breaker yards.

Have you tried Part Finder?

I had some luck finding discontinued bits with them recently.

Thanks for the post. I've just given it a go now.

I'm beginning to feel like I'm searching for "Fly Fishing by JR Hartley" (for those that can remember the Yellow Pages advert)

Anyone else got a recommendation for Honda parts / NOS?
