Hiya
as some might have gathered a fair few of the lads on the site already know me.
They know me cos I run a bike parts emporium but up to now have specialised in supplying and manufacturing parts for the Blackbird.. http://www.hondablackbird.co.uk

Well since I got the GS ( or since I saw the light and found a great new toy ! ) a few of em have been asking me to get parts for them...

I and a partner run a web site and forum for the Bird folks.. Its a way of saying thanks lads and lasses, for laying on events, and generally making life good.
Since you peeps already have a bloody excellent forum and club, I have spoken to Paul and he has ok’d it for me to offer you lot some stuff at errrr... well lets say competitive prices ..

Here is an idea of the prices I can offer folk ( but only members of this forum. There will proly be a web page put up at some time but with no link to it from my site, only from this forum. General public ( or indeed Private Parts) may find it by accident but that is about it ! The idea being that only those who use this forum will benefit )

Ok....

Those bar risers that move the bars back as well as up, £18.00 inc post to the UK ( supplied with stainless bolts )

Oil filters £4.00 ( a fiver inc post )

Twin FIAMM type horns ( Bleedin’ loud ! ) supplied with a GS1150 specific loom and brackets £14.00 plus £2.92 post ( may be suitable for other models but I am not that well up on the GS variants as yet )

100w H7 bike specific lamps £8.50 inc postage to the UK ( I have these made for me as the normal car ones seem to last 5 minutes in a bike ! )

MRA Vario screens .. Retail is £106.38, I can do ‘em for club members for £85.00 ( postage £8.24 I think but have got to box and weigh one .. might be £5.68 if it is less than 2k )

Tyres.. Not a stunning saving but I can do the Avon Distanza things for £135.00 a pair plus delivery or obviously free collection .. ( I can get ‘em fitted for £17.00 a pair )

Loads of other stuff like clear indicator lenses and the like ( I am one of the official UK Clear Alternative agents )

I stock EBC pads but am pretty sure I am not very good on the price of those as someone from here told me that .. In fact I seem to remember the price I pay for pads is more than someone on here retails them for !
But just in case, a couple of sample prices.
1100, 1150 GS with or without ABS, 1998 to Nov 01 ( there are variations but hey :p ! )
fronts £13.92
rears £18.00

If someone can tell me the wheel bearing sizes I will get a load of them in for you .. and anything else you can think of.

Quite happy to get any stuff and pass it on to members at a trade price.. so if you need something drop me a line...

If you are in this area ( Norfolk ), you are most welcome to pop in, grab a cuppa and see what is on offer for themselves :P ( But be warned... this is Noddy and Scotty country.. you may well end up bumping into them whilst you are here !!! :P
 
Well the first lot of Vario screens are already sold out ! ( Yes, I have put your one to one side Mr Womble sir ! :p )

Next lot are due in on Monday..

Also sold out of bar risers.. But as they are made in house I will swing a mill over to them and they should be available again by Monday or Tuesday :p
 
:thumb2 Nice one Jaws with prices like that, i'm bound to need something soon:D
 
Have you got any of the tinted Vario maxi MRA screen (500mm) (R850GS/R1100GS) left please?....... :D Im after one for mine :)

[email protected]

Hi Mike, darn it no ! Sorry.. But if you send me an email ( [email protected] I will get some on the next order I place ..( which at the present rate of knotts will be about Tuesday )
They are slightly dearer than the 1150 or 1200 version though Mike.. I am expecting to be able to do them to club members for £92.50 plus post
 
The 100's are for the extra driving lamps.. I have 70w items for the dip beam and main beams

I have a snealy feeling the charging circuit on a GS is somewhat more robust than a Blackbird and I have been supplying the 100's for them for 7 years now.. Got 'em in my own bike in fact ( and yes, if I could afford decent HID stuff I would have that instead, but will not fit the cheapo chinky units.. 23Kv floating round loose is not my idea of fun ! LOL !!! )
 
Just got in some Wurth bug cleaner.. Retail is about £9.90 ..
I can do it for for £9.49 inc postage

Brake fluid.. 250ml pots, £2.40 inc post

Chain wax ( yer.. ok ! LOL ! ) 500ml £7.50 inc postage
 
Looking forward to getting my new screen for the 1100GS ....For those that want to see one here it is:

 
Just had word from the suppliers.. 7 to 10 days still I am afraid on the 1100 ones :(

The 1200 ones will be here in the next few days though ..

And can now def confirm bar risers will be ready to ship on Wednesday evening
 
Oh well I will just have to wait but it will be worth it...:thumb2 7-10 days isnt long
 
Quick Action Throttle

If you could find something to fix the excessive throttle travel:spitfire on the gs1200 you would get promoted to god like status on here fella:bow
 
Should not be a problem.. apart from the small problem of not having a 1200 to play with :(

But I will take your suggestion on board and given half a chance will sort it out.. We used to make throttle quickners for all sorts of other bikes :thumb2

Top Man:bounce1 Dont forget that most Gs's have the heated grips and you might have to take that into account.

If you need a guinea pig for development im your man:thumb2
 
Couple of things folks.

First off big appology to all those waiting screens.. I honestly did not expect a big company like MRA to have problems supplying !
All I currently have in stock are the light tint Vario's for the 1150's.

I am awaiting delivery of
clear for the 1150
clear for the 1100
light tint for the 1100
light tint for the 1200

Got the new batch of bar risers in but not happy with them.. The berk on the mill missed out the little step that locates them in the loop. Not desperately important but a nice feature that SHOULD be there ...

Back in stock are the oil filters

And lastly, the quick action throttle widget.
Has anyone got a spare throttle body at all ?
I need one to send off to get the measurements made for the a mold to be sorted out .. I am currently looking at both injection molding a ring and machining one.
Obviously if anyone has one I can borrow, and the whole thing works out, the lender will get a freeby :)
