where's the cheapest place to get spares for a P reg Red and White C90 nowadays please ? Thanks -- http://Borg.no-ip.com XJ900 Trike GS850 Trike DIAABTCOD#29 DAMICRWIM Some people are like slinkys.... no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!
BORG said... Honda dealer, seriously. A brand new genuine Honda full exhaust system for a late model C90 Cub is about 35 quid. Genuine C90 spares are ridiculously cheap so it's not worth buying inferior pattern parts.
FFS, Borg - just place a wanted ad in LOOT or similar, set up some searches on Ebay, or buy a moribund C90, take the bits you want and sell or throw away the rest. It's not difficult.
Are they worth 'doing up' with real parts though, what would a value of one be fully running with 12 months MOT now. -- http://Borg.no-ip.com XJ900 Trike GS850 Trike DIAABTCOD#29 DAMICRWIM Some people are like slinkys.... no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!
www.ebay.co.uk ---->Advanced search Key in: Honda C90 Click box: completed auctions only Press enter. In other words, anything from £150 upwards.

Done EBay, never used LOOT whatever it is, and although it may 'not be difficult' this IS a motorbike group to ask for information so why start straight away with the hassle ?[/QUOTE] Because this is the third such bloody silly query in a fortnight, two of which came from you. Think - do you really believe that there's a Secret Treasure Trove of spare parts, all at impossibly cheap prices, that people know of? If there was, don't you think they'd tell us? Oh, no, they wouldn't would they.... Because..... The Knowledge of the Sacred Stash is passed down from storesman to storesman, through the Holy Order of the Brown Coat, isn't it? Noviciates have to learn a thousand Honda part numbers. When they declare themselves ready, they are taken by The Elders, whose features are masked by old goggles and Cromwell leather helmets, and asked to prostrate themselves before the Holy Microfiche on its plinth. They are dressed in 1976-era Hondastyle leathers, the colours of beige, brown and orange being deemed fitting to their lowly status. On their heads is placed the Worthy Nolan Guardsman Helmet With Missing Visor. They are asked precisely one hundred and twenty three different part numbers at random. Each question is accompanied by a thwack in the ribs from an old rusty Super Dream fork stanchion. They must answer all correctly. Any mistake, and they have to inhale from the Bowl Of Old 10/40, and prostrate themelves before the Emblem of the CB550 Side Panel Badge[1], before returning to noviciate status and, as a penance, having to learn another thousand part numbers. Of course, some never prove themselves worthy, and are deemed outcast, defiled, besmirched, fit only to swab workshop floors and make the Assembled Brethren their tea (milk, three sugars, in a Carole Nash mug nicked from the Bike Show). Those who pass this test are allowed access to the Honda Parts Computer. Here they have to learn the sacred rituals: the questions, and the proper responses, such as: "Have you got one in stock?" 'No, mate, it's on back order.' or: "Blimey, how fucking much?" 'Well, that's Japan, innit? Shoulda bought a Triumph.' After three years on the Honda Parts Computer, assuming they have filled every order, and never had to refer to the Palace of the Central Warehouse in Japan, they are introduced to the mysteries of The Discontinued Part. Candidates for this order have to be able to know the correct number of speed blocks on an RD400 side panel for all the different years[2], and to know the difference between a rev counter from a CB750K6 and one from a CB750F1. They must, under escort, attend autojumbles, and be able, once again, to give the proper responses to the ritual. "Yeah, that'll fit a '76." 'But the '76 doesn't have this chrome strip. It's only paint. That's a '77 you've got there.' After 20 years of training, they are allowed to enter the unmarked building where the Sacred Stash is kept. it is supposed to be a beautiful sight. People wander awestruck through the halls, trailing their fingers through the open boxes of priceless C50 points sets, dazzled by the light reflecting from the pyramids of 400 Four rear mudguards, and gazing open-mouthed at the hundreds of CBX1000 seats that lie scattered around, like cushions, for the weary to rest upon. And you think you can just ask us where to get some bits for a C90 because you're too pikey to ask a dealer, and too lazy to look for yourself? **** right off. [1] Fourk! [2] Rumour has it that a poster on this group is now on his way to full Brethrenhood and his Brown Coat....
Yer worth a shout thanks -- http://Borg.no-ip.com XJ900 Trike GS850 Trike DIAABTCOD#29 DAMICRWIM Some people are like slinkys.... no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!
Because this is the third such bloody silly query in a fortnight, two of which came from you.[/QUOTE] what makes you decide for the whole group what is silly and what is not ? You're just another user nothing special Umm, no did I say I did ? yawn yawn more self serving chest expanding posting, do you not think there might be other people on this group that MIGHT has some useful information other that Use Ebay FFS. -- http://Borg.no-ip.com XJ900 Trike GS850 Trike DIAABTCOD#29 DAMICRWIM Some people are like slinkys.... no real use but it makes you smile when they fall down stairs!

Yes. Your shed. ;-) -- Cheers! Fr Jack B12S (The Red Mist), CB450DX (The Moped) FRJACKUKRM AT GMAIL DOT COM Red death, to set you free
I gave you two other alternatives, didn't I? I also told you to place a wanted ad somewhere, or to buy a complete bike and take wehat you wanted. You're a thick ****, aren't you?
BORG said... If you bothered to google or read any of the replies to your previous requests for info about cheap spares, then maybe you wouldn't get the flak that you receive. All I can gather about you is that you're a vacuous Welsh pikey who posts questions then doesn't bother to act on the replies. Go ahead, but pattern or used parts that last 10 minutes but cost 75% of quality original parts, it's not my money you're throwing away. Ignorant ****.
BORG said... It was hilarious. You're Welsh, you wouldn't understand humour that didn't involve sheep.
