Not only Zed Owners get shafted !

#1 PostAuthor: Tonto » Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:28 pm

Recently sold a project Hounda CBX: the day before buyer came round to view her, I took her for a final 10 mile shake-down run. She ran perfectly, but on the way home, the High Beam indicator lens in the dash (a 1inch square of blue plastic) broke free, and vanished over my shoulder at about 70MPH. It's a hard to get part, and I've been quoted £40 for a faded one, £50 for a reasonable one: for a small piece of blue plastic :shock: :shock:

Kinnel - and I thought we got royally shafted with our Zeds , :evil: Where's Jims' poem when you need it.
