DLX is back from service

[LongRanger_imp]

It spent a few weeks at the dealer, but my DLX is finally back home.

- New rear brake rotor
- New rear brake pads
- Brake and clutch fluid flush
- New rear tire
- New headlight bulb

The rear brake was warped, possibly by me but more likely by the prior owner. The rear wheel was stiff to turn and made a grinding noise. I thought it was the bearings, but that’s why I don’t wrench on my bikes beyond simple stuff like oil changes. I would have spent twice the money chasing and replacing good parts without really knowing why. Yes, I could have easily replaced the headlight bulb myself but since they already had the bike, it was just another line item on the work order.

Sounds good LR. Same replacement bulb type? I liked the look of the OEM bulb / headlamp arrangement.

 

[LongRanger_imp]

Yep, same OE bulb that it had in it. It’s stupid expensive to buy from Honda, but whatever.

 

[the Ferret]

good deal LR

Dang. Single rear disk - is that rich?

 

[peterbaron]

...and I assume is U$

 

[Lord Popgun]

Yes PB, Partsfish prices are in USD. The price crossed out is the list price. Obviously Honda has a Japanese princess deliver you the part on a silk pillow. Or they ought to.

Other on-line part houses may charge a little less.

Well, if I ever need one, I'll look at the U$ number, not Canadian equivalent, tricking my brain "I got discount"

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

... better yet: Don't wear out the rear disk when you ride.

I can't imagine what the front pair command.

 

[the Ferret]

wait..I thought you sold it and just had a garage full of Bemmers now?

 

[KiowaEagle_imp]

Ha! Old thread, fooled me too!

 

[the Ferret]

Geez I even responded to it a year ago :blush:

Good to know you’re all wide awake today.

I guess some members can be excused for being a bit distracted at the moment.

 

[LongRanger_imp]

I don’t recall what I paid for parts and labor. Rickcb owns the bike now and should have the invoice.

 

[Gone in 60]

I think I'll be applying my rear brake a little more gingerly from now on...

LongRanger, I checked your invoice and found...

$309 for the disk
$50 for pads
$190 for labor (diagnosis and repair)
