When I made the order, I paid the $5.99 expedited shipping fee thinking that it might prevent them from adding a large fee since their disclaimer on large parts specifically only applied to free shipping and to also speed the process up. Whether that had anything to do with it, I do not know. The order was certainly not expedited however as I placed it approx 22 days ago. Good deal! I've gotten a front and rear fender for a 300 from them but I ordered them separately and 300 fenders aren't that big, so they didn't ding me either. My guess is is slid through the cracks. No way they didn't lose money shipping 500 fenders free. When Paulie was still at Honda East I saw a screenshot of my order and noticed one of the boxes said "cost + 20%", and his prices were usually about in line with Partzilla (little cheaper, but not much). Point being, on a $120 Fender, that's not nearly enough markup to cover shipping on something that size. Better go buy a lottery ticket! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowindown 494 Posted June 3, 2020 So I've put about 60 miles on it since I cleaned the fuel system/carb. So it has a little over 600 miles on it now. Runs perfect. This past weekend, I started stripping the old plastics off and depending on how much spare time I have, I may get it back together by the end of this weekend. Those new plastics sure are pretty - they should be for the price. This past weekend I also replaced the petcock for the reasons previously discussed. The impact got the petcock off without spinning the nuts in the plastic. Thanks for that piece of advice guys. I had to put a new fuel level sensor in too. After I got the original one freed up and working, it only lasted maybe a week. I think the contacts or circuit board piece was just too worn to work consistently after freeing it up.

Big Bird 93 Posted June 12, 2020 Glad yours is running well now. I have the same one. I got mine about 6 months ago. Last week was the first time getting out on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowindown 494 Posted June 14, 2020 I got the plastics on. And put a new seat cover on as the factory one was dry rotting. Plus general touch up. Probably will address the wheels and tires soon and add a winch and maybe a rear trunk/seat for the wife. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slowindown 494 Posted June 30, 2020 Finally finished everything I wanted - winch, shackle mount, tires, rear seat and rear foot pegs. My wife said the rear seat is very comfy - we rode a bit last night. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
