    @Lozzy, I am surprised you've suggested such a condition; I wouldn't accept even a minor blemish!! So ironic you mention that though. There's a black tank on ebay for 25 quid. I emailed the seller with this query:
    "Good morning. Could be interested in the tank cover, but my sole interest is in the Honda glazed emblems to transfer to a replacement Chinese fairing set. Could you please advise if the emblems are in good and unscratched condition?"

    Don't fear about first dibs on the Castrol. I have you on my 'prospective purchasers' spreadsheet, just has @CharlieR85 has me on his!!:D

    Then again, given my age, I could just short-circuit the whole schemozzle and leave it to you in my Will:rolleyes:.

    @Kentblade gets the SP2, just to show there's no hard feelings because he never agrees with anything I post!! :cool::cool:;)

    Just purchased the tank cover on ebay. 25 quid. New badges are 50 quid each plus VAT. Win/win situation.

    Nig, if you knew some one in the states, they are $22 each new. Which not bad. Few quid to post here aswell. Some damn good prices they have they at Honda USA dealers. Cheaper than UK dealers... god knows why. Abit unfair i think and some parts alot cheaper. If you ever bored take a browse at www.partzilla.com

    Cheers @vic_ster51 . It's not often I need parts, but all resources are good to know. I just hope I'll be okay with this dud tank that has a broken lug at the seat bolt hole.
