reg/rec,anything electrical really in my opinion....ive had not much luck with my nc30 when it comes to the electrical side of things.
ive went through numerous reg/rec,switchgears etc.i would get what you can really all within reason and price.
:D

If the price is good enough then get anything and everything. I have so much stuff in the garage that I really shoud inventory it and flog it on...but I am obviously a hoarder...

levers, rearsets and bars are good if you plan on crashing.. fairings, wheels etc if you want to get serious on trackdays and use wets and track only fairings.

If you're thinking down that route, fairings and engine casing?! :shock:

If he happens to have a UK spec undertray, I'd be very happy! ;)

well obviously preparing for the worst- that way anything else that happenes is a pleasant suprise lol.
tis my first big bike, so would like to cover all bases if you know what i mean.

and yes, the problem is- i am a hoarder. if im not carefull, i could quite easily bring home a complete bike plus more in spares. for those "just in case" and "you never know" moments lol.
which is why i need to restrain myself and only pick up things that are a great bargian or alsmost essential...

Thank you very much. The UK one has the little 'sticky outy' number plate light, just in case you didn't know.

Page 6 of the official 'Honda Terminology Book' It's in the section called, 'It's not a mechanical fault, it's electrical' ;)

You know what I mean, it sits under the thingy-ma-jig, just next to the whats-a-name, near to the oo-ja-ma-flop!? ;)

I think I must be getting old, my nan says things like that! :shock:
