Isn't £80 a bit steep for a CG C&S ?
£3 for valve caps ? You'll get a set of 4 from a garage for £1.

Sounds about right Thumbs Up
Honda genuine parts are always expensive.
However Dave silver will be the best for price on genuine parts.

Is this for the CG? or have I muddled you up with someone else?

Yeah it's for the Cg... Although I have a quote of £25 for C&S from Dave Silver previously... I'm quite confused. :/

David Silvers is usually quite expensive, but from my experience, you get good, high quality products and service. I've never had a problem from him - even sourcing a 25 year old, brand new genuine Honda 400/4 exhaust (the first time I knew about D.S).

Check www.wemoto.co.uk for a comparison of aftermarket parts.

You will get some from any hardware shop

Don't know. Try at a breakers.
1 x Chain and Sprocket set (Standard) - to order from Honda @ 79.99 GBP.
Oohya fecker. That'll be a genuine honda one. You'll get a pattern one for half that
2 x Tyre valve caps (If you sell these) - in stock @ 2.54 GBP.
Go down to a tyre fitters (Kwik fit/ATS etc.). They will give you some.
1 x Chain inspection guard cap (The round plastic plug that covers the inspection hole - to order from Honda @ 0.79 GBP.
Bargain
1 x Bracket (Used for holding the Horn onto the bike, mine has snapped) - to order from Honda @ 8.19 GBP.
Make your own, or get one from the breakers. Or move your horn to somewhere else, you just need a bit of flat bar with two holes drilled in it, one for the horn, the other for the mounting (I would suggest attaching it under one of the bottom yoke clamp bolts).

That's awesome stinkwheel, thanks very much!

Pattern chain and sprockets are 22.50 by the way.

I don't need most of this stuff just yet... But I figure I might as well put in a bulk order of stuff I'm going to need!

I might just buy that piece of metal, I don't really have the tools to sort my own out. Although I hear the price of gaffa tape is good at this time of year.

There's a parking lot full of them, but my reasoning is nicking valve caps off of cars is no better than nicking plastics off of peoples bikes, it's just cheaper!

I don't steal Smile

Also, imagine if a stone got stuck in it, letting all the air out at 8am in the morning causing the car to hit a nearby lorry, killing some kids in the process? Not worth it Razz

You will be able to buy a horn with a bracket attached for less than £8. I think the breakers charged me £2 for one the last time I bought one. They are not model specific and they all have two terminals, just get one the correct voltage.

Get one from the place you get the chain and sprockets, should be less than £4 for something like this:

BTW, You will get discount if you ask for it. Thumbs Up

Take for example when I recently ordered, amongst other things, a lower fairing...
Approx £100 delivered within 14 days,
OR
If you are prepared to wait 2-3 weeks, Approx £75 delivered

Since a lot of the parts come direct from the far east, they get a discount for slower shipping, which D.S. pass on to you.

In my case I got the parts I wanted in 15 days.
25% off for 1 day - Thumbs Up

Oh and another good thing about D.S. In my experience, no matter how much you order (size / weight) P&P is only a fiver Very Happy

ALSO

MAKE SURE you ask for (or work out) the ACTUAL price.

IIRC the quotes are exc. VAT
