Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had any advice on restoring the colour of the switchgear on my NC23?? Its totally faded from 25 years of sunlight!

Maybe try the back to black stuff for a bumpers?

I know its going to sound wierd, but i heard peanut butter is a brilliant thing to restore black plastics to original colour........

thanks but ive tried the bumper stuff and it didnt make much difference at all. I think pale grey beyond what the bumper stuff can handle.
Peanut butter sounds interesting but i will have to get someone else to do that due to my peanut allergy haha.

You are better keeping an eye out on ebay.

I replaced both of mine - very cheaply.

The left handswitch gear was brand new for around £20 off ebay - sold mine on ebay for £10.

The right hand one was £15 - not new but loads better than mine - again sold mine on ebay for £10.

Looks 100% better.

Remember other honda bikes have the same gear fitted to them, so search for them as well.

ah thanks mate thats a great idea. i didn't realize there would be others with the same switch gear.

I put some regular motor oil on all the black plastics. Repels water too.

Gtechniq C4 is quite expensive but very good for restoring tired looking plastic.
