Reading this thread is quite heartening! Look at the people who jumped in and offered help and then Phantom was able to give exactly what was needed. Very cool.

I also find this site very helpful and full of good guys....But, what the hell is wrong with Honda parts that they cannot supply a final drive for a very popular and long time model to a dealer and customer in need???...Sounds like someone is "screwing the pooch" along the line somewhere....JMHO...Good luck and hope it all works out for you soon..Without knowing all the facts, this kind of thing would really upset me, as I am sure it has you, and very possibly end my relationship with Mother Honda!!!
It's not that they don't have one it's that they can't even give a projected date. I spent a couple of hours with Honda customer service by phone today with out any success. I can tell most of the reps I spoke with either don't ride or have multiple bikes because they don't get the urgency. They were talking about 6-8 weeks more and seemed to feel that was OK.
I have had to wait 8 weeks for a part from Honda......but they had to make it !!! Honda can be slow. I have been waiting about 10 days for a rotor at this point. Just goes to show that a few folks have spare parts and are willing share!
