Topic: Honda NX250 used parts

[berbecs]

Hi all!
I am eager to find 4 indicator lights for my 1991 Honda NX250. Same as the XL 600/650 or many more from the '88-'92 era.
I have found recently a guy here on the forum who sells used SOHC/4 parts, which happened to be a great help while restoring my bike.
So I thought there might be someone who deals with younger DOHC bikes, if so, could you point me in the direction of him/her? Thank you!

I can't tell your location, but according to CMSNL.com the only 1991 model was Switzerland?
Anyhow all 4 signals have different part numbers. All of them fit all years NX250 and the CB500 from the mid 90's that we never got in the States either.

I advise against using used plastic turn signals, their rubber stems and plastic housings didn't hold up very well out in the UV light and most of them are dangling by their wires or they're held together with electrical tape and a zip tie to keep the tape from unwinding...

If you want new OEM they're available but will be pricey. The shape of your bike and how you'll be riding it should dictate what you'll use. If it's a pristine Survivior I'd put on OEM for maximum value. If it gets ridden like Honda intended I'd cheap out and get a set of 4 aftermarket. On eBay I find sets of 4 down as low as ~$40 with free shipping, sold from china, Taiwan, the UK, and the US, so lots of choices.

Another is to check out your local Craigslist motorcycle parts section for parts that might do the job at deep discounts. Lots of us have parts we don't want to throw out, but won't ever use. We'll never get rich selling them but losing money is easier knowing that parts will get someone else out riding again.

Thanks for the advice, I'm based in Hungary, so Craigslist is not really an option.
I see what you're talking about, all the used turn signals are technically broken somehow, but I did not think that this ithe reason...
 I have found the cmsnl OEM parts, untill this point it was out of stock so I'm considering it again, the bike is in very very nice condition, I'm  feel ambivalent as it ment to be ridden in dirt, but it has only 1-2 cosmetic scrathes
