    i break bros's and they are the first thing to go,i have a few sets there but none of them would be in great condition,i could take a look at whats left of yours and may be able to piece together a good one for you as ive done this several times before

    Its pretty rashered, rear ended by car, lugs from rear lamp also broken. Might take you up on what you have.

    I have a plastic welder from a job I was at a number of years ago but don't know how to use it.may be try it out on a few broken pieces first.

    I will be calling out to Jimmy monday, need him to put an estimate on the damage for the 3rd party that hit me. The Bros was never that popular down the country compared to Dublin. The other alternative is to get a fiberglass replacement tail piece in from the States. http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/hondaz/NT6501988-90.htm

    If the rear wheel was hit at all ( probably was ) go for a tyre , maybe wheel (and bearings) , and adjusters if they are cast etc , axle too.
    They're not designed for impact like that.

    You could try David Silver Spares who specialise in Honda parts.

    www.davidsilverspares.co.uk

    Friend who has a couple of Hondas has got several bits and pieces from them over the years, and is pleased with their service and prices.

    Relativly low speed colision, I have clocked up 100KM since, no probs, would be happy enough with replacement faring and rear lamp.

    there are a few Bros's down this way, sure Drumy used to have one and i know one of the Speakes has one (ok it belongs to his misses and she can't ride a bike yet lmao)

    Meskels did have one out the back, might be worth a rummage, let us know how ya get on, i'll keep a look out for one for ya and ask drumy to do the same, take it easy bud;)

    Speekes bros has low mileage and is for sale, too much for me :) I tend to pick up bikes needing work. :)

    Just purchased an umblemished rear faring on Ebay including tail lamp. All lugs perfect and no cracks. The only problem is that this will now show up my skuffed tank. :mad:
