Love my Honda Bros. However mine is a bit of a rat bike...

I discovered by accident that Taobao (kind of chinese amazon) has a lot of Bros decals available, don't ask me if the quality is any good though: https://s.taobao.com/search?q=honda+bros+%E8%B4%B4%E7%BA%B8&type=p&tmhkh5=&spm=a21wu.241046-global.a2227oh.d100&from=sea_1_searchbutton&catId=100

I've used this site as a middleman to order from taobao before, as they don't ship outside China: https://taobaofocus.com/

Wemoto is really good for Bros bits, and looks to have the lenses you want: https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/nt_400_j_k_bros_mki_nc25/88-89/

I've looked into key blanks in the past and didn't have a great deal of luck unfortunately. Sad

Ooh! Ooh! I went all detective and found the part codes for the key blanks and they are still available from a bunch of places:
35121-MN8-007 and 35122-MN8-007 (they seem to be almost exactly the same thing). I found out from this site (which is super useful if you haven't found it before): https://homepage.eircom.net/~hondabros

edit: Lots of places claim to have them, then when you add the to basket they sneakily switch out the MN8 (bros) part for the KW3 (generic) part. But still with enough hunting maybe it'll be possible to source one.
edit: I got over excited, found 3 (one type 1 and 2 type 2s) in Oregon on American eBay. As it happens I have a friend in Portland who is going to buy them. I'll shoot you a PM when they're in the UK. Mr. Green
