Evening everyone.

Has anyone been able to source a supplier of the 3 piece trunk trim set (running behind the seat and down each side where CB and radio aerials bolt to.)

I can only find one place in England and their postage costs are to high.

Anyone know where I can get said trim set in the US? Hours of searching have drawn a blank.

Best wishes,

Craig.

Only if you want a nightmare.

I would set my Wing on fire and ride it straight into a vat of gasoline before I would buy anything from sabercycle.

Wherre in the UK have you scourced them? Maybe a member could save on postage by shipping it out for you?

Sabre cycle do not ship outside the USA and a search on them on here will reveal that they are a company NEVER to do business with in my opinion. Their business practices are non existant!!!!:X

A place called Bikers Best, but I just realised it is in the Netherlands.

Ends up being nearly $300 AUD on the doorstep, which I find to be absolutely insane.

Bikers Best are an excellent shop and I have bought from them and also visited the shop, but the postage from there, even to England is a bit steep.

Here is another place in the UK that might be worth investigating, he does keep alot of stock that isn't shown on the site, so would be worth contacting them by email perhaps.

Thanks Silverfox.

I just can't believe with just about EVERY conceivable part available for the 'Wing as aftermarket chrome that no company does these chrome strips.

Virtually every older 'Wing I have seen with the brushed aluminium look has had this strip very badly tarnished and in need of replacing.......

Might have to get the old plasticine and clay out, make a mould and make some money myself....lol.
