hi gazza , most of the stuff i sourced off ebay .........the rims are also from there and cost more to ship from the states than the cost of the wheels with chroming ...........

lots of carbon bits on ebay now though when i started out on this bike there was nothing around as it was a new model of course ...........

what in particular to you want to buy ?

Not sure really just want to see what is available. I realised after posting that you have an 06-07 mine is an 08 so its a bit early I guess for much stuff to have hit the market. The main things i need are a hugger and a decent screen. I am a fairly big guy and act as an air brake most of the time lol and that little screen does not give me much to hide behind.

The guys on here from the usa will know more as they seem to get everything ages before the slow old uk gets around to making stuff .........though try powerbronze they are usually the first to make bits and are good quality too ..............ive noticed thay seem cheaper than i remember them too ..........only downfall is the stamp powerbronze on everything and im not one for free advertising ............ happy hunting gazza .........

Make sure they route the hoses correctly. One member here took it in, got it replaced, then at high rpm the engine would die due to the vent hose being pinched causing a vaccuum and fuel starvation.

Thanks for the info! I just rode mine home from the dealer now. My tank was replaced and about half way home I got on it a bit and the engine was cutting out above 5k. I always do my own work. It really sucks that the one time I trust someone else to work on my bike they screw it up. Looks like I'll be going back in later to find the pinched vent hose.

We'll I looked under the tank and sure enough the main vent hose under the tank was folded over allowing no airflow. The Honda tech routed the the vent tube that comes out near the shifter wrong and this caused the short piece of hose to fold over on itself before the "T" fitting. I routed it correctly, made sure the tube was not bent and it runs great now.
