Genuine Honda Carbon meter cover and yoke cover available

winaje · 02-09-2008, 12:02 AM

Good evening all.
In response to a number of requests, I am sourcing the following 6th Gen genuine accessories from Australia, and posting them to the USA:

Please bear in mind that these parts are ONLY available for 6th Gen models.

Genuine Honda Carbonfibre meter panel cover, $145AUD + $5AUD to cover Paypal charges, $150AUD shipped to Continental USA. Pricing current and correct as of 1st of October 2008.

Genuine Honda Carbonfibre yoke cover, $115AUD + $5AUD to cover Paypal charges, $120AUD shipped to Continental USA. Pricing current and correct as of 1st of October 2008.

Please bear in mind that these parts are ONLY available for 6th Gen models.

Shipping would be marginally cheaper for both items together, so $260AUD including Paypal charge of approx $10AUD for both when shipped at the same time.
I had to add the extra to cover Paypal, as their charge can make the difference between my breaking even and losing money.

Lead time is approximately one month. Payment accepted via paypal.

Use http://www.xe.com to convert from your currency to AUD.

Bear in mind that the prices are subject to change, ONLY because of the fluctuations in exchange rates etc. Also remember that Paypal ALWAYS gives a lower exchange rate than normal.

PM me for details.

Are they glued or something.

winaje · 02-10-2008, 01:50 PM

They are held on by a number of very thin strips of high grip double sided tape.

reg71 · 02-10-2008, 06:38 PM

I'll give you a full report when winaje ships the ones I ordered through him......I'm interested to see what they look like in hand.

foxfire1 · 02-10-2008, 08:06 PM

I'd like some for my fifth generation, please.

winaje · 02-10-2008, 08:20 PM

Hi FF1. I have edited the original post, sorry for confusion; these are only available for the 6th Gen

Puma Cat · 02-10-2008, 08:22 PM

Too bad not available for the 5th gen bikes, they look pretty nice

Ravage776 · 02-10-2008, 08:27 PM

Are they difficult to install? Do they slip into place over top of exhisting parts? Do you have to remove handlebars? They definately look awesome!

winaje · 02-10-2008, 08:38 PM

Extremely easy to install. No need to remove anything in my experience. Clean yoke and/or meter cover thoroughly with some prepsol or similar. Slightly warm the yoke/meter panel and CF bit with a hairdryer. Peel backing off double sided tape. Stick on and press firmly. Leave for an hour or so. Kick back and enjoy the new look.

Ravage776 · 02-10-2008, 08:46 PM

Well I am definately interested. Would go good with my CF resevior caps, tank pad, and rear hugger. Wish I would have bought a CF exhaust now...oh well.I wonder what the exchange rate from CAD to AUD would be? Would be even cheaper if there were multiples shipped. Someone please keep me informed. Thanks!

NorcalBoy · 02-10-2008, 08:52 PM

All this talk is making me antsy, Win!

I've got one of these on the boat coming to the US right now:

250 AUD converts to 225.30 CND dollars

looks great winaje!! another mod i need to do OMG I'm going have to stop coming to this site. just curious in your picture theres a middle rubber button round between square ones my 05 doesn't have that just a blank spot what is it for?

winaje · 02-10-2008, 10:25 PM

That button turns off the H.I.S.S. warning light that flashes on the instrument panel. May be an Australian/Euro spec thing...

I probably should increase the price by $10 or so AUD because frickin paypal take a big chunk out of it...

H.I.S.S.
Honda Ignition Security System.
The little red light flashes on the panel to let everyone know that there is a security system fitted.
