best place to buy replacement panels?
I asked at my bike shop, they said a whole set is a whopping £700
I found these too on ebay-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280802583674? ... 1438.l2648
any difference? any better prices elsewhere?
still too much at the moment for me, but i need to get them done soon, i messed up today, gave my bike a good clean, and tried to push back the front right panel where it came unkooked fromt he main headlamp, and the panel cracked. quite visible.

same auction as above but active - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BODYWORK-Fair ... 4928168288
If i were you i'd message that seller and ask how much for the one panel you need.

Re: best place to buy replacement panels?
i might get the whole lot in a month or two when i have the money hopefully and get them replaced in the summer. i wasnt sure if these were the same sort id be charged £700 for in the uk
Re: best place to buy replacement panels?
im assuming they are, id check with the seller though. There arent any differences between the UK and asia models, except some had brown panels where we have black (fuel flap etc) its the US one that has the indicators on stalks so should be fine.

Re: best place to buy replacement panels?
i do like the look of the US stalk indicators, but that would be another thing to snap off
Re: best place to buy replacement panels?
how about going for different colours like half black half red?
Re: best place to buy replacement panels?

Re: best place to buy replacement panels?
good idea about the colours. i guess i could even repair mine with fibreglass like i use on my yacht and repaint them red. but i do like the black, its sleek
as for idle stop, thats one reason i chose the PCX when i saw it while looking at scooters. i use idle stop all the time while commuting after letting the engine warm up

Gah, I hate the stalks. Blasphemy.
If you're capable of fixing it yourself, do it.

Re: best place to buy replacement panels?
There are any number of repair options for panels. Try back issues of practical sportsbike magazine as the guys running 80s/90s Japs with plastics don't have the option of buying new.
Far cheaper and more satisfaction to be gained from learning to repair them yourself.
If you insist on new ones I've had good results getting genuine Honda parts from AJ Sutton http://www.hondascooterspares.co.uk/spa ... X125&uID=0

I've just smashed a wing mirror and put a nasty hole in one of my panels. Totally my fault and I feel completely stupid for the way it happened too. I think I'll wait until the winter is over before I get a new panel - just in case of snow and ice etc. causes more grief. But I'll have to get a new mirror.
