Tanks are getting a bit tbhin on theground now, esp ones without dents. I can get parts from Japan but the tank would be expensive to post. What plastics are you after, I have a couple of tails. As for the reg/rec, go for one of the later "finned" type ones, the earlier ones are pants ;) They're fitted to various model Hondas, including the VFR750.I might have a spare one, will need to check.

i have a tail in need of some repair and a mudguard that's usable but could use spraying. both (in the case of the tail, nominally) in black. based in portsmouth. i'm not too interested in the hassle of posting, but a couple of beck's gets them if you can pick up in portsmouth.

cheers. i have a tail piece but some bits are broken some lugs are broke its the tank more than anythign and the regulator, my bike is terrible in the cold i have to charge it every night and im thinking its that i need to sort out, but today it was real bad took ages to start wouldnt tick over really lumpy at first but ok by the time i got to work but had same prob when i came out of work.

And a dent in the tank if it aint too bad. i have a hole in mine at top so when i fill right up it comes out of the hole.

Is the hole meant to be there? Or is it a rust hole? If it's meant to be there you're breather might be blocked - someone else had tha same problem recently. If you need the bike to use, I can sell you the reg/rec of my spare bike and pick myself up another one from Japan.

Sounds more like your battery is dead. Where are you, one of the forum members will always have a look.
