Got a spare set of OEM bodywork off ebay

Post by JC120 »

I found a set of spare bodywork + a couple extras on eBay last week and drove up to San Fransisco to pick it up. Not a bad deal either. The owner had a tipover and changed out these fairings for a perfect set. There's a little bit of damage on the side of the nose cone but there's no cracks or broken tabs and I can make it so it'll look like it's never been down. There's only a slight scratch on each of the lowers but that's easily fixed too,, I might not even bother since it's so minimal. On the tail, there's a couple blemishes on the right black vinyl decal but it's barely noticeable as well.

The left mid panel needs some attention. If I can replace a couple decals then it should be perfect. All I need is a right mid panel and the one that goes in front of the radiator and I'll have a complete set. If any of you have one of those, I'd pay good money for it, even if it's beat up. The right inner panel under the nose is still available so I ordered one.

Right now, the ones on mine are pristine and with the value and lack of available spares from Honda, I feel anxious about it getting damaged riding or parked in my garage or a parking lot. To ease my fears, I'm going to fix these up and swap them with my perfect set so I ride my 45 with less fear of rock chips, a tip over, a lowside if I hit some gravel or if I do something else stupid.
