Go back over who said they wanted one and pursue that avenue first , there was as I remember a lot of interest . Didn't Crabman in south Africa want a couple ?

Also how spread was the interest across the models ? go back through the thread and see .

Could be that people have forgot but are still keen . Obviously its probably the most important thing on your mind ATM as you have a lot invested but to others who want one its real but they may not be prioritising it .

Check their profiles for email addresses as not everyone comes on here all the time so an email saying ready for delivery might help

I want one for an 84 250 , but I cant commit until I can pay you ( so that's not much help I know ) .

Great product but  a combination of lack of promotion ( not your fault ) and more so a shit economy .

Good luck you are filling a need ( apparent need ) that has been talked about for years on here  :-\

Chase those who said yes first .

Hi Russell

An alternative add for the internet, perhaps.....


Despite the inherent quality engineered into all Honda products, time and/or a lack of preventive maintenance can take its toll on any bike resulting in some vital components becoming unserviceable and rendering the motorcycle unrideable. Not a desirable situation for any rider.



Australian Russell kdx experienced this very issue himself, and with the skill and determination of a tradesman with over 100 years of quality casting experience, set about creating a low volume high quality solution. Manufactured from corrosion resistant  Aluminium cc601 and CNC machined to the same exacting standards as Honda, these covers are the affordable solution.
Rigorously tested, this is a 100% guaranteed to fit item just as an O/E cover would. Every cover is personally inspected by Russell to ensure EVERY cover is made to his exacting standards, EVERY time, guaranteed !





                             INSERT 3 TESTIMONIALS HERE Russell, not necessarily from these cover buyers


Get your Honda back on the track where it belongs with Russell kdx's replacement water pump thingy, engineered to go the distance !

Also in your add list all the other models you have covers available for.

One thing going against you is the lack of e-bay sales in the past which restricts your reputation.
People will be wary of being burnt by another scammer so you will have to convince them you are legit.

Accepting Paypal yourself will help because it will give customers a sense of comeback (just watch you don't get scammed yourself)

Sending COD (only available within Australia)

Sending everything with tracking to take away any possible problems with things being lost in transit.
