    A mate of mine owns a '98 vfr800 (not that there's any bike-envy going on!) on which half his instrument binnacle has died. He still has a Speedo and Rev' counter, but the mileage and Trip' (plus everything else on that half of the instrument panel presumably) have packed up. He's done some swatting, and reckons it's the motherboard that's died, but honda have quoted him £200 for a new one.

    Not being a part that's gonna be available in pattern, I was wondering if there might be any suggestions of another possible source... and if anybody knew whether if a 2nd hand one was used, would it carry the total mileage from the donor bike?

    See if he had a 3rd Gen like mine with analogue instruments...
    (suffice to say he didn't see the funny side when I said that!)
