so finally got the bulbs in and clocks back together have to say I was really pleased with the condition of the bulb holders, I'v had some really grotty ones on old bikes in the past and nice new screws/bolts and my new (old) ignition barrel

blown away by the condition of this, it really is good, even the screws are nice have to say thankyou again to bodie for spotting this and letting me know. the only thing I'v done to it is replace the seal (the seller pointed it out on the listing) for my old one and its good to go.

not much happening on the bike front but I threw in a bid on ebay (like you do) and ended up with this little lot some of this stuff I'll keep (the pic with the bars, grab rails, indicators etc is what I need) the rest I'll probably move on, or stash it away somewhere and forget I'v got it, as you do

I know what you mean, none of its too pretty (yet) the bars I think will clean up nicely and use as is, the headlights got really nice mounting bolts, the grab rails arent brilliant but I'll do something with them, the tail piece seems ok (apart from the grotty paint job) the indicators seem to be a mish mash of genuine and pattern bits, I wasnt actually looking for a genuine inner mudguard bit but as I'v now got one it will be used, stangely (cos I'm odd like that) the bit I'm really chuffed with is the battery strap complete with doofer.

There is a lot of shite getting listed on Fleabay for Superdreams ( not saying what you bought is shite Buster ) 407 new items listing in one day this week a lot of new stuff overpriced and repetitively listed,parts in good honest decent condition reasonably priced seems over

Should buy my one buster it's like brand new www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CB250N-CB400N-SUPER-DREAM-REAR-FENDER-REFURBISHED-80105-443-610/133259451704?hash=item1f06e1dd38:g:qAsAAOSwBY5dzV-h

Yes some good stuff I agree,our “friend” in Cornwall puts some nice bits on sometimes a guy on faceache breaks Superdreams by look of it,not sure if I agree with doing that in one way it helps owners restore a bike but also a Bike is “lost” when they break it swings and roundabouts
