Posted: 02:26 - 31 Mar 2018 Post subject: What is the rocking horse part for your bike? |
|

If your bike is over 10 years old its likely to have a part that is hard to find or extremely expensive due to rarity. So just curious what is it for your bike?
For example on mine it's the fairings and front indicator lenses. I know on old cb125's it's the manifolds between the carb and the engine. ____________________ CB125>CG125>GN125>ER5>K100RS>R1100RS>K100RS

Lower farside fairing panel Ducati ST2/ST4s. By design they fit too close to the downpipe from the front cylinder which causes it to crack. That, and it's lower fairing means they're pretty hard to come by in good nick.

FZS1000. Grab handles. You can get them, but last time I checked, they were something like £90 each, and that was a few years ago. At that time, clutch cables were about £70. I think Yamaha want people to buy their new bikes.
Good condition fairing inner panels are getting rarer if you don't want to buy new parts, as they crack very easily if you over-tighten the screws even a little. If you buy one of these bikes, but get someone else to do your servicing, I would suggest removing them beforehand, as shop mechanics always manage to crack them. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Stand on the opposite side of the bike, then they'll be nearside panels - they might then be easier to come by ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

My LA has a few parts which would be impossible to replace, but not impossible to use from another model. (Big Up to Honda for raiding the parts bins when producing my JDM bike!)
Wheels - only the LA250 Custom has these in that particular style. Unavailable, but could probably use the spoked rear from CM125C and front from a CD250U which has the same caliper. (I know the 125 Superdream also has the same caliper and tubeless wheel but its rear, whiule also tubeless,is the wrong rim size.
Instruments, but I've sorted that out now with used clocks from a CM250T; the speedo ratio is the same happily and in any case the original speedo had the 50KPH warning circuit for the (now redundant) red warning light on the binnacle. I can use that later for a side stand system if I CBA.
Pretty much everything else is interchangeable with many other models, including CM125C, various Rebels, CD250U, CB250 Nighthawk and other 250 bikes with the 233cc lump. So I can keep it going for a while yet. ____________________ 82 not out....1983 Honda LA250 Custom
