I'm struggling to find rear grab handles for my CB400 SF. Does anyone know of a breaker who has one of these bikes in stock? I've found a couple who say they have through Google but all their stock lists seem months out of date.

Thanks in advance

There's a pair on eBay mate, you should be able to pick 'em up for a couple of quid ---> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201698931619
Mind you, he wants a lot for shipping

Well spotted, I'd missed them (obviously my search skills not good enough).

Postage not too bad as they're probably quite heavy.

The reason I want a lot for shipping is that I have to travel to the back of my local iceland during work hours and take some cardboard from their recycling cage (I've asked and have permission, it's not theft!) and purchase bubble wrap and wrapping tape, spend time wrapping things and take them to my local shop - as well as pay the actual postage fee. Seeing as I'm self employed time spent shipping is money lost earning, If I worked it out I would easily take a loss on £5.95 posting these handles.

There - you've been told!

If you want the handles powder coating before I send them I'll sort it for cost if it helps you. I have a good relationship with my local powder coating business owner.

I did actually say it was reasonable!

I've put a bid in on the grab handles and the footrest plates (as I want to try a slightly longer gear lever). Yes, powder coating would be great.

Are you interested in a straightforward offer for the handles & plates rather than waiting for the auction to end?

If you want then yes. I'll drop the handles in to be powdered black on the way to work in the morning. I'm not expecting loads for them, especially as you are an active forum member on here.

Fair enough then, no offence intended. I've always got cardboard and wrapping stuff in my loft from previous purchases, so it doesn't occur to me it would cost anyone more than the postage. As you say, I have been told!

Actually I was the first bidder on these but realised I don't need them (have ordered a whole Ventura luggage system), so it was handy someone else came along needing a pair. Glad it all worked out :)

Bludclot: you have incoming.....

Handles are now powdered and removed from ebay:

Look excellent.

So how much in total?
