Scraped clutch panel on the engine casing or clutch lever? The bar end, has it just damaged the grip?

The headlight trim cost me £20 for a new one for my RXS, I imagine it would be less for a CG. The grips will probably cost you £5, and the engine casing can be picked up from a breakers, they are bound to have one, 04 CG's arn't exactly rare !

Have a look through MCN, ring up all the breakers who have the CG listed, some break new bikes (I think?) so you will have no trouble finding decent condition parts.

Definitely fix up before sale, the buyer will want to knock a lot more than the cost of the parts of it if they were to buy it.

The damage doesn't seem bad really, it could have been much worse. Be happy it's mainly cosmetic, if the forks twisted or the frame bent etc. It would be a whole different story !

Main think is your ok though, I know the times I came off I thought my bike came first over my injuries, but it doesn't.

Good luck.

Hi

Repairing the headlight rim might well be expensive (depends if Honda will sell the rim on its own, or if you have to buy a complete headlight). However the handlebar end and the clutch lever will be fairly cheap.

However this kind of minor damage on a learner is not unusual so should not affect the value too much. No idea of the 2nd hand value of CG125s myself though.

All the best
