If you can repair, and re-chrome your old band for less than the price of a new one, then do it! But if life is just too short, and you enjoy the tactile pleasure of fitting a new genuine Honda part, that fits correctly and looks great, then don't do it, just buy new ones from CMS, you will be glad you did. For more Honda tactile moments, check out the online 'parts list' fiche for your machine, but beware our 'parts list' facility has been know to make grown men cry (with pleasure!)
