thanks

yes you can get replacements, but its normally just a complete lid assy.

try a search because i know its been covered a few times

Fizzer, if you invest £12 for a year's site sponsorship you will be able to see the For Sale section.

Varios come up for sale quite regularly. There is a set for sale, in perfect condition right now...... Carpe diem.

Is that Latin for "subscribe tightwad" ?

 

[fizzer]

oky doky ,point taken and understood,twelve quid is done.

Mate it wasn't a dig

I honestly believe that access to the fsaw section is worth a truck load of money, so 12 is well spent trust me, good luck with the hunt, without wanting to state obvious they pop up on eBay frequently or contact the tosser at southport, (name escapes) top man and will keep his eye out for you I'm sure

God's fish, I always thought.

Mine are really battered - I used fly to Madrid with them checked in as luggage and pick up a hire GS from the airport when I had to go over for business.

I think it adds character.

Vario lids

Fizzer. Spoke to Vines Motorrad Caterham today and they are quoting £90 per lid inluding lock and VAT.
You can only buy the lid complete, not just the Bacofoil aluminium bit. Somewhere on this site is a
walkthrough of dismantling the lock/handle mechanism. I believe some holes have to be drilled in the end
of hinges to allow the hinge pins to be driven out.

Good luck
