Variator cover
I am after a variator cover again (the cover with honda on it). my bike shop got the wrong part grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
they want £100 for a bit of metal. ridiculous!
i know someone pointed out the part on ebay for £30 and i passed it on as i thought the shop had sourced it
so im after it again for a price under £50
thankyou
they got me this
but i want this

Re: Variator cover
yea woozy,the honda is just a plastic trim for the variator cover, for me i didnt think it was worth the money and didnt like it when i saw it,so went for the proper air box cover instead quite dear but good quality
Scoots so far- Peugeot jetforce 125,honda Dylan 125,yamaha x max 125,honda pcx 125,honda nss300 forza ;-) and bikes were kh250, zxr750L1,zx9B1,zx9c1,wr426,xjr1300sp,09-z1000

Re: Variator cover
eh, its not the garnish i want its the actual original cover!
Variator cover
The garnish is what PT63 sent me for free
I'm guessing the original part that that goes on is alot more difficult to find.
Have you tried Honda parts online? I think it's called that, it's on my bookmarks at home but I'm using my phone at work right now.

Righty ho Woozy! It was me that pointed this out the first time round - It's still available and still on Ebay under the original listing.

For anyone else looking to see what's on Ebay type in "honda PCX 125" and set the advanced search options to worldwide

Re: Variator cover
i have offered the seller a deposit as i cannot afford it atm
Re: Variator cover
They are a business listing so might take it, especially considering it's been round on Ebay twice already.
Failing that whats wrong with the original?

Re: Variator cover
the original had a thumb sized hole in it from when the previous owner slid along the road, its got ugly duct tape covering it
Re: Variator cover
Get the duct tape on the inside, fill it with cataloy, sand it down and spray it.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Re: Variator cover
unfortunately the hole is right through the honda logo so it would look odd
good idea though

Re: Variator cover
the part you are after is the transmission cover.
honda part number is - 11340-KWN-900 and when i get to work i can find out a retail price for you, but i seem to remember when i was looking it wasn't cheap. i was gonna get a spare to paint black then then changed y mind and i was gonna get it at cost.

Re: Variator cover

thank goodness. Honda shops take the piss wanting £100 for the part

Re: Variator cover
i had a look at work today, RRP from Honda is £99 + VAT, your dealer pays a maximum of £70 +VAT so he isn't making a huge profit on that compared to something like say tyres where they make 100% + profit on them.
