Pretty sure I added something to my basket as a test and it showed that the only shipping option was basically the fastest, most expensive version of air mail, tracked shipping, which you just know will have full declaration on it (for insurance purposes) so as well as import duty and vat, you will also have the "clearance fee" added by whichever courier allegedly "up fronts" the customs fees.

By the time you add all that crap to the total price, you wonder if its worth the risk, especially as it's a pain in the rear if the item arrives damaged.

It's a shame it's an SP2 undertray thats needed, as I have an SP1 undertray thats complete, basically barely been used on the bike and probably wont ever be put back on there.

are sp1 and sp2 not compatible?

They are different part numbers and if you look at parts diagrams, they do look like they have quite different layouts, no doubt due to the electrical differences, such as ecu/relay/battery placement etc.

You may be able to get one to fit, but not sure it's worth the effort ?

HAVE ANY OF YOU PICKED UP THE PHONE AND QUOTED THE PART NUMBER TO YOUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER ?
OOPS CAPS

Yes 204 notes unfortunately

Ok. So spoke with my contact yesterday.
Priced the wrong bit. £175 for undertray

Seems to be common with dimwit Honda dealer employees.

I went down in person, ordered a cylinder head gasket.Not sure why but I asked the guy to write down the part number he had ordered, came home to find he had ordered the rocker cover gasket:needles to say, had to phone and ask why when I ask for one part, he ordered something entirely different.

Luckily I also ordered the correct part off ebay (from an ex Honda dealer) and so ended up with a choice of two.Handy (hopefully never need it) but the head gaskets are the same for both front and rear cylinders (kinda expected Honda to make it more awkward than it needed to be, just cos they usually do)
