Honda MTX head cover/ Water Jacket

[Jello]

The head cover, otherwise known as the water jacket (although technicaly incorrect) appears to become the most brittle material known to man after 20 years of use.

Mine's broke, so I'm looking for a replacement for my MTX. I can't find one for love nor money. The local bike shop could only import one from Japan for megabucks. There must be a used one somewhere.

Any suggestions on where to pick one up?

email any one on ebay selling mtx parts this has always worked for me when i cant find parts.

I'm actually doing that too. It seems this part is quite rare.

I've had one reply from partfinduk, one guy wanted £50 for it - He's obviously too aware how rare it is. None of the breakers I've tried have one in either.

Looks like I'm going to have to make more attempts at fixing my current one.

Post pictures of the damage. It's amazing what can be fixed with a little thought.

got one off a 200, if you can check they are the same part?

Thanks mate, but I got someone to weld the current one (stinkwheel was right).

Cheers.
